Write the ending… Option 2) “White Sky” The beginning of the story:
Sky is all white, matching just about everything with the snow that had fallen six weeks ago. We won’t see any colour for lots of months now. It is extra quiet cuz of the holiday and living in a small northern town; quiet is the way it is. The ice-cold air, though, cold enough to freeze any sound that might intrude, is the real source of the silence. This proved true when one of those big trucks everyone drives here came bounding up the hill toward me; I could feel its rumble as I slow to watch it, deep and penetrating, a welcome comfort to jar the silence. Driver hits the gas, sharing the full force of the machine and then it is gone, only its pure white breath lingering in a form that holds to nothin’ but is somehow more real than its maker.
