The wind outside was whistling at a high-pitched squeal. The temperature was dropping, and the snow flurries began earlier than the forecast. It was surely a stay-inside day.
Ramona turned the heat up in their family home and made herself a fresh cup of hot coffee. She looked outside and shivered, seeing the fast-forming winter wonderland. Across the street, at the city park, she saw snow gathering on the playground equipment and piling up on the roadside.
The weatherman had advised to fasten the hatches and stay indoors. This is what Ramona was about to do. On Saturday, her children were home, and were just taking a nap.
“It’s not a bad idea”. Ramona feeling for a nap. But something was lingering in her mind, something jotted down on a yellow sticky note in her office that her friend Rebecca gave her.
She was curious about that something and wanted to research on it.
