Morning!
I have missed these prompts and thought I would treat you all. I use the term 'treat' quite loosely here. So, here it is....
Szhvit…szhvit…szhvit..the ceiling fan whirred above the bed.
It only succeeded in moving the warm air around the room. She lay on the large
bed in shorts and t-shirt, trying to be as flat as she could and inadvertently
making a snow angel. ‘Snow’ she thought…and then tried to unthink it…as she
looked to the window and started to see snowflakes floating down to the ground.
She stood up and turned the fan off, she figured that she had about half an
hour until she would have to put the fire on.
Children who had been playing out in the streets, having
water fights were now even more excited at the prospect of being able to make
snowmen, to have snowball fights and to have a day off from school. She smiled
to herself, the hot weather had made her so lethargic as all her energy was
spent on keeping cool, cold weather she could do things in, she could go ice
skating. She got dressed and grabbed her ice skates.
It wasn’t a long walk to the rink and she followed the road.
This weather was preferable to the heat; people passing out with heat
exhaustion, animals were dying from dehydration, the earth cracking up and
damaging people’s homes, this was much better. As she walked along feeling smug
with herself she heard a blood curdling screech as a car hit its breaks and
slid sidelong across the road into oncoming traffic. She could only stand there
and watch as the car smashed into the truck. A large bang and a crunch as the
car was crushed by the force with the people inside.
Every weather condition had a curse, inheriting this job was
a curse, why did she have to be Mother Nature.
Brrrr, cold comfort there! heheh
