A Tale Inspired By The John La Farge Painting
Intruduction
I wrote a haiku based on this painting, which you can read here
I thought it deserved a story as well.
I found it on The Enchanted Booklet here:
The music is "The Storm" by HAVASI feat. Lisa Gerrard

The traveller had been trudging through the blizzard since he could remember. He was freezing and was sure his extremities were blue, even though he was clad in warm furs.
He needed to find shelter soon, or he would freeze to death, and the storm was not letting up; he felt it wanted him to die.
In the distance on a small hill, he thought that he saw a huge tree that would provide some shelter for him, and maybe save his life.
He thought he had found safety when he reached the tree, but as he drew near, he saw the claw and the face of the spirit of the storm.
He turned to run, but the storm took him and drew him into its jaws.
He knew he would not see the dawn.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

It wasnβt the right time to leave a party, nor the right time to tell your hostess you werenβt feeling well and you had to leave immediately. The hostess shook her head like the defection was nothing new and went back to attending to her more worthwhile guests. Annalieseβs friend, Kimberly, offered to drive her back to the house, but Annaliese wouldnβt hear of it.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Talk about a bitter cold end. Great article Mike
Wow, that's a pretty terrifying story, Mike, and the music is eerie as well.
Oh that's very eerie and cold. I love it.
Good job. I was drawn into the story as the character was pulled into the storm.
Nice one Mike love it π¦ππ¦
