ON A FROSTY DAY, EPISODE TWO

ORIGINAL DATE: 24 JANUARY 2023

Welcome . . . to The Three Fifty-seven.

[The On A Frosty Day Theme plays]

My name is William Spear and this is Episode Two of ON A FROSTY DAY.

In the previous episode, and without warning, the unnamed character’s daily exploration had been interrupted by a fence and KEEP OUT sign. The character evaluated the circumstances as the temperature dropped.

And now, Episode Two of ON A FROSTY DAY.

Barely beyond my reach were tens of thousands of jumbled journeys towering above me. In between was a chain link fence that stretched forever from left to right and as far up as I could tilt my head back.

Either I had sipped from Alice’s DRINK ME bottle or someone had sprinkled the EAT ME cake on the fence. Either way, going forward was a challenge.

Another gust of wind rattled through me and clanged the “KEEP OUT” sign. The twisted part slid down and showed a few letters: “S”, “R” and “E”, and a “Y”.

The last summed up the moment as in “Why?” W-H-Y.

My adventures had been more routine than dangerous. No outer space people hovered in their outer space crafts. No wild animals prepared to pounce from leafless trees.

The nearly twelve hundred score journeys had been indistinguishable travels.

Another blast of wind reminded me of the falling temperature and I pulled my jacket even tighter.

The dangling sign banged louder against the fence, clattered to the ground, and revealed its full message: “KEEP OUT . . . UNLESS YOU ARE READY”.

I stared at the sign and . . .

. . . Stepped away.
