Day four

 

"There is frost on the windows. I am almost afraid to look outside. Just breath......."

 

"Oh it is definitely here. The snow is up to my ankles an it is only six in the morning"

 

"It looks like the whole world is frozen.  It is extremely quiet. I need to get down to the pond and see if it has frozen over, but that is going to have to wait while I check on Zoe and the house"

 

 

"We all knew this was coming. This was not a surprise. I am just going to go through my check list. We are fine, everything is fine. I have prepared for this. It's going to be okay Zoe we are going to be fine"

 

 

"Well the first problem is the toilet isn't working. The pipes are probably frozen "

 

 

"I still have running water in the shower so that is good although I should probably go check those pipes as well, but if I am going out in that I am going to need a wardrobe change"

 

 

"Check it out all the chickens are still alive. I am glad that I insulated the chicken coop when I built it. Also there is this weird pink and blue egg in here. Looks like the Easter bunny came early this year"

 

"Okay I just fed Zoe and I still need to check on the plants in the basement. It is going to be a buy day is what I am saying"

 

 

"I have fixed the pipes for the moment I am trying to unclog this darn toilet. in all likeyhood this is going to be a regular thing, because no natter what I do the pipes are probably going to freeze almost ever night"

"Well guys the shorts are put away and your probably not going to see them again. Welcome to the new ice age"

"Look at this guys. Zoe brought this in last night. It's an egg but it is not from my chickens. I don't think even Charles could make something like this. I put it next to the fire to keep warm. I wonder what is inside"

 

"It's a big....lizard. Is, is that what I think it is? Is that a freaking Dragon?"

"There is no other explanation for it. I just hatched a dragon. I amm going to need a minute to process this"

"Well it's a girl.....dragon. And you know what she smells like freash dirt and leaves. I wonder if she is an earth dragon. I can't believe this I am holding a dragon trying to figure out what kind it is. Yea I am going to need another minute.  But you know what the more the merrier. I am going to take this as a good sight that the storm is not going to last forever. I think that I will name her Gia"

 

"Well, dinner time. The storm has come as we all knew it would. Except that guy in the Lama costume whom I hope has in fact been saved by the aliens. Down here on earth, it's crazy freaking cold, my toilet smells like a skunk died in it and there is a dragon in my living room. So.....yea"

 

"Zoe!" What could you possibly be barking at at eleven thirty at night? I was almost asleep girl come on! Alright, fine I am up, now what is it?"

"Holy monkey's there is someone out there. Be quiet Zoe! I have seen groups of looters in town the past few days but I have never seen any out here. This could be very bad. Alrigh I am going to see who it is"

"Oh my teaspoons are you alright? Miss? What are you doing out here you are going to freeze to death"

"I....I am trying to get to.....to get to town. I....I have to get sup....supplies"

"You are never going to make it. The storm is only going to get worse. Please come inside"

"No no I cant I....."

"Miss, I'm not going to hurt you okay. Just let me help you"

"Here now, warm your hands, your fingers are one of the first things to go to frost bite. How long have you been out there?"

 

"Um a couple of hours I thought that I could get back before it got to bad."

 

"What's your name?"
"Blair, Blair Wainwright"

"I'm Jonathan Simpson. You must be  starving let me get you something to eat"

 

"No thank you I'm not hungry To tell you the truth I am just tired. More tired than I can ever remember being"

 

 

"You look like you are about to fall over.  Why don't you just lie down for a while alright. I have a bed you can sleep on"

 

 

"Oh no I couldn't take your bed Mr. Simpson"

"Call me Jonathon, and it's alright I have a sleeping bag stowed around here somewhere that I can sleep in.....I insist"

 

"This is all very kind of you Jonathan "

"It's no problem Just get some sleep. and if you hear snoring well....that is most definitely the dog. Big snores that one"

"haha of course, I mean who else would it be?"

"I'll see you in the morning miss, and dont worry, you are safe here"

"Please call me Blair"
"Alright, goodnight Blair

"Found my old sleeping....oh wow she is already out. She must have been exhausted. I have the feeling she was out in that storm for way longer than she was letting on. Who is she? And how did she get way out here, lost in the storm of the century, all alone?"

 

"She was too tired to notice the dragon by the fire pit. That is whole different level of tired"
