A Snow Day To Fear

Snow flakes fell from the sky, covering the already thick sheet of snow on the ground. He quickly closed the window.
Winter and fall were the most dangerous times of the year. When the Holly King came. He was a cruel leader. In the other seasons, his brother, the Oak King ruled. The Oak King was the opposite of his brother.
No doubt the Holly King sent his minions out to find humans to become his slaves. The man didn’t want to be a slave. He locked his home. Once all the windows and doors were sealed, he ran downstairs.
Suddenly a pounding noise coming from upstairs. He hadn’t been quick enough! They knew he was here! He threw a blanket over himself, and ducked behind some logs.
They came swiftly downstairs. He heard a loud sniff. They brought trackers. He was boomed.
Something grabbed him, and dragged him outside. It was them! They threw him against something hard and cold. A snow cage. He knew what was next.
He would be taken to the mines, and be sent to work. Only when spring came, would he be free.
