Dear Readers,

They say that truth is stranger than fiction. And that’s undoubtedly true. But maybe by reading fiction we can prepare ourselves for good living in this strange reality. Or maybe fiction can offer us a model to better understand our strange reality. Or maybe fiction just offers us an escape from it.

Regardless of its uses, good fiction is just pure fun to read. Today we’ll read a short story that will transport us to a frozen world, make us feel the pangs of conscience, and throw us for a twist at the end.

There are millions of stories waiting to be read. And even more to be written.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
