Zara
A snowstorm, as forecasters predicted, hit the Sterling Empire in full force the day before December 23rd, and everything came to a standstill.
People were forced to stay home. Chilling winds blew, carrying heavy snow, blanketing everything. The beautiful garden was completely covered in snow, and I looked out the window, wondering if my life would always be like this.
Alone and frozen, without a partner by my side to devour me with their love.
On Christmas morning, I was awakened by Alpha's voice.
"Zara!" I stirred and slowly opened my eyes, seeing him standing next to me, a black shirt sewn to his broad torso.
A mighty snowman had come to wake me, wearing the colors of the damned Grim Reaper. He was definitely a reaper of smiles.
"What?" I asked, annoyed that he had disturbed my sleep.
