It was a big day, Cath was very excited. Even if she was freezing, it was still her birthday. And it’s not every day she turns seven. And her parents were home... Last night, anyways. She bounded out of bed, and got dressed as quickly as she could, throwing on her best dress. And then she ran into the schoolroom. It was a nursery, once upon a time. But her parents were too busy. She was hoping to find her parents, but all she found was a note. With her school schedule on it. Sitting on top of her books.
“... oh.” She said quietly, to herself. There wasn’t any type of note, apologizing for where they’d been. Just her schedule. She looked out the window, hoping to see their car, or tire tracks, some sign
they’d be home soon. And all she saw was a blizzard. At least six inches.
“...forget school. it’s my birthday, and it’s snowing.” She walked back to her room, and put on snow clothes, and she spent the day outside, alone, in the snow.
