Weekly Contest #63
The light is fading faster, and the darkness is upon us sooner every day. I’ve been here a long time, two seasons, and they say it is time to go.

Just the howling of the wind and a chill that turns your nose into a sore looking bullseye on your face. We found the five dollar coupon I had clipped from the paper, put on our blizzard gear, and headed out on our adventure. It was a long walk to take with a five year old but with no car, and the desperate need we felt to pick up our treasure drove us on.On the first leg of our journey we were grateful for the wind push...
