Winter Storm Brewing

a blindingly foggy day, powdery wind blowing it's whistle without cease. out in the blizzard, a man in his vehicle, immobile in the deep snow. he's plucked out of the brutal mercy of the winter storm. seeking refuge in a good samaritan's garage; teeth chattering, body trembling, frequently shaking frost-bitten hands; hurricane of anguish churning at the pit of his stomach. he's sipping hot cocoa ah, relief!

Beautiful poem. Your image of the man sunk knee deep in snow, his escape and his finding shelter in a garage and finally the hot cocoa to boost his spirits and warm his body! Just beautiful and vivid, Edward. Congratulations on your win.
