The Snowman

Henry was coming home drunk. He just got fired from his job. He got out of his auto stunning. He allowed he saw his neighbor’s snowman moving towards him in a fast stir. He shocked his head to try to clear it. He was really drunk if he suppose a snowman was moving.

He snappily got in his house. Henry was a high functioning rummy. He can noway keep a job. He was always late for work if he forgot to set his alarm.

The Snowman was now in front of his living room window giving him a grin.

Henry went into the kitchen, to get a drink of water and took two tablets of Ibuprofen so he wo n’t have a leftover the coming morning.

Henry stood in front of his kitchen Gomorrah drinking his glass of water. He looked out of the kitchen window, he saw the Snowman gaping at him with an angry face.

Henry dropped his glass of water in the Gomorrah. Henry went upstairs to his bedroom. He shut the curtains and flopped on the bed without taking his clothes off.

He woke up the coming morning on top of the bed covers. He looked out his bedroom window. He saw the neighbor’s Snowman was back in its spot in front of the neighbor’s yard.

Henry didn't flash back a lot that happed last night but he flashed back the Snowman moving. He just assumed it had to do with his drinking.

Henry took a shower and got dressed. He went to the kitchen and made coffee. He went to the outside front veranda . He put his mug of coffee on top of the veranda table and lit his cigarette. It was a crisp cold morning at 10 am.

The field was covered in a fresh fleece of snow that morning. He looked at the Snowman coming door, it had a bank pipe in its coal mouth.

Henry’s eyes pop open wide. He dropped his coffee mug and his cigarette dropped from his mouth.

Henry looked around to see if any of his neighbors were outside seeing what he was seeing.

No bone was outdoors but him and the Snowman. Henry stepped on his cigarette and went snappily outside.

Henry allowed he was hallucinating. Why was this passing to him?

***

Two weeks ago Henry got hired as a teller at a bank for the vacation season. It was a small family own credit union bank. Some of the tellers were going on holiday and one was out on sick leave. He was the backup teller.

A week ago the director of the bank asked him to come with her to the bank vault and balance the plutocrat. There was an important call for the branch director to take. The director didn't f0llow protocol and left him by himself in the vault. There were a lot of bags of 20’s due to the elder guests asking for them during Christmas for their grandkids.

Henry took a bag of 20’s worth over fifty thousand bones and hid it in his suit jacket. He left the vault and took his downtime jacket to cover his crime of stealing 50,000 bones . He justified his robbery, he owed plutocrat on his mortgage. He placed the plutocrat intimately down from the camera in his fleece.

He snappily got back into the vault before the director came back. The director was detracted from the call, she forgot where they left off with their plutocrat count. Henry handed that quantum that would cover the fifty thousand he'd just stolen.

The Credit Union Bank was going to be closing in fifteen twinkles. It wasn't a busy branch. The Alarm in the vault goes on automatically in ten twinkles. The director didn't have time to relate the plutocrat in the vault.

All she watched about was that everything was balanced at the end of the day.

Henry had been living with the guilt for a week now and the Snowman sounded to know of his crime. He thinks he's going crazy because why would a Snowman be moving?

He went back into the house to check if the fifty thousand bones was still where he hid it. It wasn't in a large drum vessel in the basement.

Police temptress was out in the distant. Henry allowed he'd nothing to worry about. The plutocrat was no longer in his house. Henry didn't know that there were three cameras in the vault of the credit union. There was a retired camera in the eyeless spot of the vault. He allowed he got fired for belatedness.

Police had a leave to arrest him for his crime. They took Henry out of his home in the cuff. Henry looked at the neighbor’s Snowman.

There was a twenty bone bill on its tree branch hand. The snowman had a big grain in its mouth.
