The stillness of the air weighed heavily on the landscape. The lake, melted during the false summer, was paved over again.
Every kid in the neighborhood was under strict orders to stay off the ice. After the first melt happens, you can’t trust its solidity.
The best part about even the mildest of late winter storms is that school shuts down but parents still have to work. By 10AM all the boys, and a few of the girls, had started an epic hockey game.
That night, they all bristled at the injustice of their punishment. After all, they’d been right.
