Jack with a bottle of whiskey in hand stares out into the midnight sky knowing in a few weeks that there would be a patch of freshly fallen snow snug like in a blanket - he can't remember who said that but ever since then he has not been able to get it out of his head - on the ground of Lighting Flats, his folks' place where he was raised.
He knows that he will likely be the one to have to clear away all the snow when it comes - a job he wouldn't mind so much, if his father just let him be long enough to actually concentrate on the task at hand.
He can already hear his father putting him down just like all the other times while he was growing up.
"I swear my father is just like a broken record," Jack says one night while up in his room. "A broken record. I can probably guess what he is gonna say to me before he even says it," he says out loud again like someone is there to hear him besides himself.
He then laughs "Why the hell am I talking to myself for?" he shakes his head and goes back to daydreaming....
