It Was A Cold Night

Image

It was one of the coldest nights of the year. The weather feels freezing outside. Everything was quiet outside. The trees are the only living thing that held still. Yet, the snow slides on its branches to the ground, making them colder than they are. The street was darker than ever. The snow covers the whole ground. If it was not for those families who help in taking off the snow to the sides of the street, it would have not been possible for anything to cross. All the rooftops were covered in white color, every house look the same. The combination of night and fog, made everything past their neighbor's house invisible. The addition to that night's weather to make it even riskier to go outside.

There it was. Their horse is waiting patiently outside. They had a plan to travel that night. They gathered their stuff. But, a moment before they leave, they started to have that discussion. The one about delaying their travel at least to the morning. They were too engaged with the conversation, that they forgot to take the horse back to shelter until they make their mind. They reach no conclusion to that argument, as no one wanted to take responsibility for any possible outcome of their decision.

Este es un relato con un final abierto. Supongo que las personas se enfocaron en debatir si salían de viaje o no con el mal tiempo que estaba haciendo, y dejaron al caballo afuera pasando frío hasta que lo encontraron muerto al día siguiente, entonces ya no hubo viaje. Pero las discusiones continuaron, ahora con tonos de reproches y buscando un culpable al que responsabilizar de la muerte del caballo.

Me gustan estos textos en los que el lector completa lo que ha de venir en el relato. Un abrazo.

It is an open ending indeed! I prefer the ones were the story questions some thought and don't really reach to a conclusion..

Thanks & have a nice day!

Excelente. Un abrazo.

It is indeed possible to feel how cold the night is. It is interesting that often just when we read we could imagine the scenary and that is the great thing imagination, that is why often it is better to read the book than to watch the movie :)

Well, they say that reading stories is good for brain's health. As, the suspense keeps the mind thinking about how things will turn out to be. In addition to, what you've mentioned above.

Thanks for passing by,
