The Reality Of A Snowflake

You can never see nor can you hear the little towns and the people within the towns that live on the trillions of snowflakes that fall down every year. Most snowflake towns get unlucky. They either get crushed by a car or worst, end up in an animal or a human's stomach. This story is about a town that was unlucky like many other snowflakes. This town was called Chesterville. The citizens of Chesterville had no idea what was coming for them.

One day like millions of other days. It started snowing in Nebraska. This little snowflake held the city of Chesterville. The citizens were going along their usual days. Some are going to work, grocery shopping, and other of their daily activities. The town didn’t notice when they were falling out of the sky at first. But, then they started gaining speed due to the wind. Everyone in the town fell down and could not get back up.

One of the citizens managed to sound the snowquake alarm. The houses slowly started swaying and the people on the ground slid back and forth as their home, the snowflake moved back and forth. All of the sudden things stopped moving, everything was still. The sky then turned into a reddish pink color.

Little did the citizens know that they were sitting on the tongue of a little small boy. As the boy kept holding his tongue out his breath slowly melted the snowflake and the town along with it. The citizens of Chesterville watched as their houses sank and their home became slowly demolished. The citizens then slid down the little boy's throat along with their homes and stores.

Sadly this is the reality for all snowflake towns. So the next time you are about to step on the snow think of the lives you could be ruining.
