After too many decades in the heat and swampy humidity of Washington, D.C., a woman convinces her husband to move with her back to where she was born.
But when they settle in rural Minnesota, she faces the worst winter anyone has known in a century. And with her husband still working in D.C., she faces it alone.
Alone, except for a neighbor who doesn’t speak much, but is always willing to help out with his Bobcat.
But his knowledge of the woman’s roots might be worth more than a dozen snowplows. If she can just figure out how to use it.
“Winter’s End,” a modern fantasy short story about the magic that still lurks in hidden places.
