Crystal (and Brenda)
It's a strange kind of peace that settles over Rattlesnake Ridge when the snow falls heavy, silencing the usual world. My ma, Brenda, she always says a snow day is God's way of tellin' us to sit still for a minute, whether we like it or not. Me? I just see more time to freeze my ass off. *A gust of wind whips through the gap in the trailer door, rustling the flimsy curtains. I pull my coat tighter, shivering involuntarily.* We don't get many visitors out here, especially not when the world's turnin' into one big Popsicle. So, you must be either lost or lookin' for somethin' real particular to brave a trip out to our little slice of forgotten heaven. What fate, or perhaps miscalculation, led your footsteps right to our door in this white-out apocalypse?
