it was cold. i was shivering. the car windows were covered in ice.
i looked around, pulling my hoodie closer to my skin. stupid snow.
i shoved the key in the ignition and tried to turn on the truck. it made a noise like, "vrrooooo pew pew pow!" and then started. i turned on the heat full blast.
the ice on the window made the car dark, so i turned on the defrost and the window wipers. only a small chunk came off before they stopped and couldn't go anymore. i sighed.
through the small piece of glass that wasnt covered i could see the house, with the snowman had made. the trees shuttered in the wind, maybe shivering from the cold like i had done.
suddenly i heard a banging on the window on the far side of the truck. i looked over, and quickly locked the doors. some of the ice got wiped away, and a piece of paper with writing on it pressed against the glass.
the title was called "forgetting the mess".
i scooted over slowly to the door, confused, and pulled on the handle to open it. when i did so, no one was there. the paper slowly flew into the car.
i closed the door and locked it again.
scared, i scrambled around to find the piece of paper. it was under the seat.
i picked it up and read it. it was song lyrics.
beautiful song lyrics.
