'A Knock at the Door' Challenge
Hello? Hello...?
Do you want your snow cleared?
It really came down hard last night and we know that you need a little help to keep the driveway and sidewalk clear...
It is still pretty early and we can be out of here in about one hour. You have such a big place that it is going to take a while for all of us to clear all of it for you and maybe put down something (there's ice underneath and we almost fell).
Sorry, I should tell you that me and my two brothers came by because we needed to see if anyone in the neighbourhood wanted us clearing things for them before the plow passed and the driveway got blocked. I don't think you want that, or for anyone to blame you for falling on your property (like I said, we almost fell and we want to make sure that it never happens to anyone else this week). We even brought something to put down (better than salt and it won't wreck your van at all; you should have put it in the garage).
Sorry to be like this, but we are going to see if your neighbours are around if you don't say anything. Most of them are gone and we are the only ones around. They didn't clear their snow, either. They are all gone.
They are all away now.
It is probably a good idea to avoid any accidents.
You should really clear your snow.

The Ceremony
“Let the joyous festivities begin!” Wild applause rang up and down the valley as the Observants unfurled their banners and told the Supplicants where they could dance and sing. The Cleaners were right in front of both groups to make sure no damage was done to the wide expanse of nature in front of them. And at least they had a beautiful day for it.

Again
The sun pierced through the gaps in the bamboo blinds across our bedroom window. Though I was already on the precipice between the waking and the sleeping world, I allowed myself the leisured pleasure of basking in the quiet contemplation that came only from lying alongside the slight but warm curves of my dear Marguerite.
