Winter's Storm

A crack in the night’s deep silence thundering and blinding! I stop to listen and watch the falling daggers of ice, snapping limbs, and shivering snow dumping in clumps from shaken trees. I slog on in search of shelter, a windbreak from the bursting gusts. Freezing flurries bite my face tingling and burning with the cold. Sleet descends in sheets of ice blanketing the earth while wild creatures scurry down through tunnels burrowed beneath crackling and crinkling leaves, seeking their own shelter from the storm.

I can feel the desperation of the winter storm, in your signature storytelling, Linda, and dash of humor, slog a funny one. ~/B0L in the contest! ~Anaya

Thanks my friend. Sometimes I just can't take myself too seriously Anaya! LOL I have slogged through the snow before. That's the only way to describe it, especially with a wet snow.
