Onyx Clayton.
Snow has taken over the district three, covering the Clayton house like a thick white blanket...
This year they have just enough blankets for the whole family. But it would be so much better if she had to cuddle with one of her sisters like last year instead of sleeping alone. It's been a long time since both Ave and Bruce were gone. Seconds, minutes, hours keep dropping from the clock, like snowflakes falling into a deep well.
Someday she will have to get up and move on. Why can't she do that today? After all, Bruce would probably want her to keep taking care of the family. With that thought, Onyx opens her eyes and gets out of her bed. She could cook dinner, but there is no food left in the house. She checks the cupboard for money. There is not much of it, but just enough for a modest meal.
Harsh wind is blowing outside. When she gets to the market and buys the food, she has to walk the whole way to her house through that snowstorm. Another wave of disappointment rises inside her, but she still has to make it back home. Suddenly she trips over something and falls down. A few potatoes roll out of her bag and her shoe gets stuck in the snow.
"Ouch."
She mutters that quietly, hoping that nobody heard her and digs her shoe out of the snow, putting it back on. Now she has to pick up all the potatoes, but it is a hopeless quest, considering that she can't find half of them.
