WAREHOUSE STORE DURING IN COLD WINTER

   Gianna
I shopping, has a quarter ton bag of dog food. Whenever I passing by, I see there's gallons of spaghetti sauce that they all stocking up.

After I brought some little bit of groceries, went out to parking lot where's close by the warehouse store. It's wintertime. It's an ice storm, freezing rain accumulates on existing snow and ice. I loading my supplies into my truck. It's miserable out and getting worse. I turn the engine start to life as I drove away.

*HONKING*

I turns to watch a car slowly sliding
helpless across the ice. It's decided to stops just short of hitting a parked car. But I just want to stop by at the post office for checking if there's any my parcel are delivered today. I hope.

Ten minutes later I checks my P.O. Box. Finds some baby catalogs. A local pregnant woman who's enters. I began to play my part to be nice to her.

"Wow, you know the question?" Pregnant lady ask gesture at my belly.

"Six months." I answer and I was very pregnant.

"That's it?" She says with smile at me.

"Twins." I says.

"Good luck, sweetheart. Get yourself home, it's miserable out." She said as she wave at me.

I smiles, then exits.

Old private road, very old and falling apart I would say. Overgrown with branches and the wind picking up. My truck slowly navigating the ice. The only vehicle around is me. As I kept on moving toward to where I'm be staying at the farmhouse, alone.

The accumulating ice is beautiful but deadly. I drives with extreme caution, picking through the ice in low gear. I drives around a fallen tree branch.

"The State Police have said to stay off the road unless it's an absolute emergency. Several of their cruisers have already been damaged. There is ice everywhere. On the way in tonight I saw the snowplow slipping and sliding. Everybody, stay where you are. This is only the beginning." The radio announcer says.

I turns off the radio, then turns on the defroster.

SUDDEN, Something moving.

*WHAM!*

My windshield shatters, I reacts by that horrible sound. That scared the crack outta of me.

A tree branch overburdened with ice has fallen on my truck, I began to move my truck slides across the ice. Tried to fights to regain control, to keep it out of the ditch. Then I stops, gets out to examine my truck, pulls the branch off the hood.
