Deep Freeze + Commute

So 6 days ago it was 61 degrees and now it's 0 degrees with windchill making it feel like -17 degrees. This shouldn't be allowed.

It does make one nestle deeper in the blanket on the couch and draw the laptop closer and get more written since you can't go outside and frolic lol. Yeah I said frolic.

Being this cold did inspire me to write a short story called Commute which is about a middle aged man driving to work in the predawn hours in frigid temperatures. He complains about his wife and kids borrowing the car and leaving stuff on the floor that rolls around in the dark where he can't make out what it is. What happens when he reaches down for the half-empty water bottle on the floor?

dun dun dunnnnnn.
