This week – SNOW-BLIND

Another snowstorm overnight. Alonzo could almost hear the cash register sound. He hurriedly put on his snow gear and grabbed the shovel. The best offers he got was when some guys realized just how difficult a chore it was, but their pride had painted them into a corner. Then, they were much more generous.

He ran outside, eager to see if anyone had started on their driveways. It was still snowing so badly, Alonzo hadn’t seen that he had run right into the street. Neither did the snowplow driver. Both were temporarily snow-blind. One of them would get over it.
