TOW: Anticipation Day 5

Mar 31, 2009 20:46

The Morrows gathered together in front of the window to watch the storm; the weather reported a large snowfall - and around here that was rare. The snow fell heavily and audibly; a soft white blanket already covered their cozy house. It was only seven o’clock, but the evening light was long gone. It always got darker so much earlier this time of the year, but you would not know it from the Morrows’ living room. Their home was bathed in light - the windows both inside and out had lights strung ‘round them, lights burned brightly on the yuletide tree, and where there were not strands of glowing bulbs, a festive candle could be found in its place - they barely noticed the hour. It was Christmas Eve so, as was tradition in the Morrow family, the Yule log was burning brightly.

(Writers note: Well after more than an hour this was all that came out. It was a little like pulling teeth tonight... my own. It's end of month at work and I think I am a bit strung out from the ad game. I would like to finish this story for you all (what - 5 of you?, lol) and myself... but it will have to be tomorrow for now it is after 10 and I must crawl into my tomb. Thanks for tuning in)

writing, anticipation, topic of the week
