Tommy’s Winter Adventures

The Lake
“It had been a long time since I had visited my mom.

The Beginning

The Spider Tree
“It was the Christmas season, and I was in my cozy apartment building where nothing exciting happened.

We had bought our Christmas tree from a different Christmas farm this year, but it was perfect, and we had decorated it with Christmas ornaments the night before while blaring Christmas music.”
