Winter
Free online fiction.
The snow came while they slept, and he wakes to nothing but white outside his window, so bright it makes him squint, snowflakes settled on the ground to become cruel little mirrors into his morning eyes. The storm knocked out his alarm clock, and the sun is high enough to leak through the trees, butter-yellow; a warm lie to make you step out and breathe in deep, so tempted by that stark look of clean, only to realize too late that it’s cold enough to crack your lungs and then you’re dry-hacking on the frost.

About the author
Kendare Blake
42 books55.3k followersSo, I write books. The Anna Dressed in Blood duo is horror, The Goddess War trilogy is mythology, and Three Dark Crowns is fantasy, because the world don't move to the beat of just one drum. What might be right for you, may not be right for some. Love to read, too. Fiction, philosophy, good books, bad books, because you take the good you take the bad you take them both and there you have a stack of books and stuff. I mean, you've got to be adventurous. There's more to life that what you're living, so take a chance and face the wind.
There's more coming soon like ALL THESE BODIES and a new fantasy series, so don't waste another minute on your cryin. We're nowhere near the end.
My likes include animals, food, and nostalgia. I mean, whatever happened to predictability? The milkman, the paperboy, the evening TV? Used to be everywhere you look, there's a heart, a hand to hold on to.
Anyway, I love to hear from readers so drop me a line here or at my website and we'll talk about friends to know, and ways to grow, and how if you threw a party you would see that the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say, thank you for being a friend.
We can also talk about all the sitcom theme songs in this bio. Sha la la la.

Absolutely terrifying, but too wordy at times. Now I'm itching to know what happened. Definetely worth reading.
