Country music softly filled the car and occasionally my mother’s voice could be heard humming along to music. The horizon…

The cold was always awful. Made her shake so hard you wouldn’t be able to differentiate the tics to the shivers. Isaac couldn’t let her stay in the house alone, though. Dad had gone to buy more produce and made him promise not to let his baby sister out of his sights. She had called bull but neither budged.
