Chapter 74

The night before mid-winter holiday, which was essentially a big Thanksgiving where everyone got together with their families and ate a big feast till they passed out, a blizzard to end all blizzards swept through, whiting out the area. I stared out of the window long after I'd gotten up in the morning, amazed at how little I could see.

"Guess we aren't going to the Inn for Mid-winter," said Gus as he came up to sit with me.

"It's so cool..." I said.

"I guess, from this side of the window pane," he said.

"You're always so negative."

"I agreed with you, didn't I?"

"Yeah, whatever, how'd you sleep?"
