The Coldest Winter: The Uncovered Death

The Coldest Winter: The Uncovered Death A suburban winter hides more than just snow. This short story blends the warmth of everyday family life with the quiet chill of mystery. Inspired by the haunting stillness of winter, it's a tale of love, loss, and unanswered questions. I invite you to read and reflect… and perhaps leave your thoughts in the comments. Patricia typed an email to her husband. Dear Paul, You’ve been away from us on your life journey, but not a day has passed without me missing you more. Just to let you know, your friend Tom had been sick lately, and sadly, he passed away. I’m counting the days, looking forward to your return. The kids are doing well in school and already buzzing about summer break. A brutal winter storm just hit—12 inches of snow! Last week, the furnace broke down. We were out of heat, and the whole house was freezing. Besides that, everything’s fine. Tell me more about the project you’re planning to start soon. Your wife, —Patricia ...

Motherhood

It was summer when Alicia went out to swimming. She took three to four laps of swimming. When she was resting, someone came behind her and pushed her back into the pool. 

Luckily, she knew how to swim. But, she was angry at who pushed her down. The group of teenagers had a truth and dare game, and Alicia was shocked when Austin pushed her down. 

More likely, Austin and Alicia became good friends. They went to the same high school. Emma’s troubled relationship made Alicia to step out of Austin. Emma had a massive crush on Austin, but Austin was more interested in Alicia. 

The note that was shared between the two made Emma cried. “Emma was short and ugly who would go out with her.” said, Austin. The disheartened feeling made Emma to decide herself to change her looks. She put her hair straight down and applied some makeup when everyone just couldn’t stop glancing at her. Emma felt more like glamours when every boy was asking for her phone number. Even then, Alicia and Austin remain the cutest couple in the yearbook. 

Emma always got jealous and tried to compete with Alicia, but Emma always failed. 

Alicia was senior, and she was pregnant, having a baby boy due in a couple of months. Austin gifted her a ring and she was over thrilled. They both graduated and moved to different states. Being first time parents was excited, and they collected beautiful moments together. Alicia became a school teacher and Austin became a college professor, both taught History. 

Tim, their son, was always honor rolled in all of his classes. He was tall like his dad and intelligent like her mother. But, Tim was in a relationship with Michelle. They both proposed to each other and moved into their new home. 

Michelle and Tim decided to adopt a child, a baby girl and named her Lauren.

Lauren brought new hope each day with her beautiful smile. 

 They traveled happily ever after.
