It was December. She used to love this time of the year. The Winter Solstice came bringing along the bright white snow she dreamed of the whole year long. Christmas was just around the corner, but she already was in the spirit. "This peaceful and welcoming environment can't get any better", she thought.
Then the next day, something happened. An ice storm broke in and a blackout hit half of the city. "Oh, No! This can't be happening!", she said to herself in a tone out of desperation, almost as if cursing. It took twenty-four interminable hours for the power to come back. She grinned. Christmas was safe after all.
She looked through the window. Snow was falling gently to the ground. Flake by flake and the pavement was all covered in white. Flake by flake and her eyes glowed bright. She was happy again!
