I rolled my eyes and hesitated I didn’t want to let him in, but I’d better. I opened the door to find him coughing into his fist uncontrollably. “You don’t sound very good.” “I feel awful. I wish I could find a place to…

Ice Storm, Part 2

https://myamuseinglife.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=334&action=edit I walked cautiously back across the ice into the hotel room. I slid my room key into the door and heard the beep which let me know it was open to go in. Inside the room, I set my phone on the nightstand and headed for the bathroom. I was relieved that Reeves got…

Little Village

Little village In the valley Covered fresh With a coat of white Little town going down Around a curve, Down a hill, Through the snow Little Village laying low Softly covered Under a blanket of snow Laying in dormant
