The Cutesy-Pie Snow-People were the craze of the century that Christmas. Their sweet little faces and animated features melted the hardest of hearts, and by mid-December every garden, balcony and complex had their own little Cutesy-Pie.
Everyone feared what would happen to the cute little creatures come the thaw. People cleared spaces in their freezers and banded together to rented chill-rooms to accommodate them for the warmer months.
But as the snow melted the Snow-People hardened. They began to grow taller and slimmer. They lost their sweet expressions and threw off their quirky hats. People stared out at them with a new fear. Were their cute little Snow-People going to turn on them?
Then one morning as the sun rose and cast its strengthening rays over the land, the Snow-People took to the air, rising up, glinting in the sunlight like so many ice angels.
They banded together and flew north.
Satellites tracked the angels’ progress; the feed was live-streamed into every home. People watched and waited. Then, as the first light dawned over the northern pole, the angels descended. Their bodies merged with the melting glaciers and re-froze the recent permafrost.
Together the Snow-People undid the damage of decades.

Lovely writing as always, Chris. Took the narrative in an unexpected and warm (not actually) direction.

Thanks, Matthew 🙂 Time for renewed optimism, even if it’s only a story. I’m renouncing gloom and doom!

The best stories are ones that we can’t predict the ending. I thought the people would turn on the snow puffs because of unwarranted fear. Instead, the puffs banded to together…not for war but to save the North Pole from man-made destruction.
****Bravo Chris! ****

Ok I have to admit, as I read on started wondering if the “cutesy” snow people were going to turn evil and destroy everyone, (just waiting for the plot twist 😋) so I was glad to see they saved the earth instead!
