Memoirs of a Snowflake
by
Joe Vasicek (Goodreads Author)
"In the moment before my first memory, I feel a wonderful lightness, a floating sensation that isn’t truly a sensation because I don’t yet know who I am or that I am. But then I feel a coming together, a sense of going that is my becoming, my awakening. And that is my first memory."
The life and times of a December snowflake. A 1,000 word short story.

This story is a cute read. The imagery is great and I liked how it turned out.
This short story was free for Kindle. If it's not free now it will be well worth the price you pay.
It is, quite simply, the story of the life of a snowflake: from birth in the cloud-mother to falling to earth.
It is lyrical and sweet. You can read it in five minutes but I quarantee you will think of it every time it snows.
The ending was, by far, the most magical ending you could imagine for a snowflake.

I was beginning to think that I wanted all short stories to be longer. This story proved me wrong.
I never thought to feel sorry for a snowflake before. This story takes you into its - well, I was about to say tiny, but I realize my error - huge world. After all, how large is the world when you're a tiny snowflake?
My background to this happened to be "O Magnum Mysterium." It was playing just as I decided to read this, and it was PERFECT for the imagery.

Entertaining, if short and not particularly my cup of tea. I can appreciate the oddness of writing a story from the perspective of a snowflake, however, and that was enough for me to say I enjoyed it.
I just thought the writing wasn't good enough. The idea was good.
