Weekly Contest #343
Nuuk, Greenland. Maren shook her head in disbelief.Her husband, Lars, was reading Gemini’s reply out loud: “Focus sunlight onto the fence area using mirrors, and the snow will melt.” “But where am I supposed to get that many mirrors?” Lars muttered under his breath. “I hope you’re not thinking of tearing the bathroom apart. I’d be happy if you finally fixed the fence, but I have better things to do next week than picking mirror shards out of the garden!” Maren said from the doorway—just as she nearly bumped into Olaf, who had just arrived.

Weekly Contest #340
Nuuk, Greenland. In the warmth of a peaceful home, Maren happily squeezed the little teddy bear she had received from her father. He had named the bear Ursi, and the name was well-loved.

Nuuk, Greenland. Maren punctuated the end of the argument by slamming a cast-iron skillet onto the stove. "Lars, you’re an old fool! The fog is so thick out there, even the seagulls are walking! What do you expect to catch? Pneumonia?" Lars only sighed, pulling on his salt-crusted parka. "I have to go, Maren. Olaf is already waiting." "Of course he is! You’re only going out so you don't have to fix that fence!"Maren tossed a plastic bag at her husband’s head. "Take that Temu junk of yours too! At least your hand won't freeze to your beer can...
