The Big Freeze
Inside their homes…
“Yes it looks like an unusually strong cold front is expected to pass through our area tonight,” said Daniel. Expect sub-zero temperatures through at least midweek. At school…
“Oh no, I hope school’s not cancelled,” said Hackney. I have to teach. I’ll just have to see just how bad this storm becomes. At Patch’s house…
“Yes, school’s going to be closed!” said Patch.
“Now Patch, don’t be jumping to conclusions,” said her mother. This storm may look bad but it could turn out to be nothing at all.
“Your mother’s right,” said her father. Besides, you need the education.
“I guess you’re right,” said Patch sighing. I wonder how everyone else is doing. At Melody’s house…
“Wow, if this storm is as bad as forecasted, school will be closed!” said her mother.
“Yes!” said Melody. She sees her mother’s unhappy expression. I mean, aw man, I’d miss school.
“We’ll never know until tomorrow, I’m afraid,” said her mother. Now off to bed, Melody. Melody heads to bed. The next day…
“Wow!” said Melody. This isn’t what was forecasted! The scene shows the entire town engulfed in ice. School’s definitely closed now.
“Work too,” said her mother walking in. This is terrible.
“Yeah, I hope my friends are doing fine as well,” sad Melody. Back at Patch’s house.
“What are we going to do?” asked Patch’s mother. With no heat or electricity, how are we going to deal with food?
“We can go light candles, dear,” said her father.
“Good idea,” said her mother.
“I’m getting blankets,” said Patch.
“Another good idea,” said her mother. It’s very cold in here. Patch grabs several blankets from upstairs and brings them down. Elsewhere, tree limbs snap and fall to the ground. At Bon-Bon’s house…
“This isn’t good at all, how is the baby going to get food?” asked her mother.
“More importantly, how are we all going to get food?” asked Bon-Bon.
“We’ll have to use the emergency kit in the basement,” said her father. They walk down and bring the kit up. Let’s see, extra batteries, flashlight, yup, everything’s here. Good thing, too, for this storm is supposed to last until midweek, which is in two days. I certainly hope it’ll end sooner than that. This is not a life I want to continue with.
“Me neither,” said Bon-Bon. At Sweetheart’s house…
“This is really truly ridiculous,” said Sweetheart. This is not what I had hoped for at all! I’d much rather prefer school than being in here.
“We all know how you feel, dear,” said her mother. Unfortunately, this storm just isn’t letting up so we’ll have to make the best of it for now. At Bright Eyes’ house…
“This is a complete disaster!” said her mother. What on earth can we do without power?
“We can find some candles in the living room and light them,” said Bright Eyes.
“Good idea,” said her father. Then we’ll be able to at least partially light the house and keep us warm.
“We can roast marshmallows with the fireplace for food,” said Bright Eyes.
“Well we certainly have a smart girl in the family,” said her father. It may not be the best dinner but it’s what we have.
“What can we use to bring the marshmallows to the fireplace?” asked her mother. Any ideas, Bright Eyes?
“Hmm, “ thought Bright Eyes.
“Wait, there’s some wood in the back that I’ve trimmed down for just this occasion,” said her father. He goes out and brings the sticks in. The radio activates.
“We have more news regarding the strange ice storm,” said Daniel. The storm is now weakening and is dissipating as we speak!
“Yes, at least!” said her mother.
“I never thought I’d say this but I can’t wait for school tomorrow!” said Bright Eyes.
“It’s good to be finally bringing our lives back to normal,” said her mother.
“We made it, together,” said her father.
“Not only that but we outwitted mother nature,” said Bright Eyes.
“That we did, Bright Eyes, that we did,” said her father.
