“It’s snowing!”
Two words that for most people generate
instant panic and thoughts of where they buried the snow shovel last spring. But in SNOW, chaos of a different sort erupts.
The church bells ring loud and crisp in the winter air. The streets are instantly crowded with shop keepers, business men
and children. Cars stop wherever they are and drivers and passengers alike spill out.
People look heavenward; spreading
their arms wide as though trying to capture the swirling drops of moisture. Others open their mouths, tongues stuck out to
grab the season’s first snowflake.
Strangers to the town stand and gap
in wonder. Some even scurry to their cars and slowly sneak out of town.
