Flash Fiction #602 -- Winter Tale/4 (Drabble)

 


Albert the snowman watched cars whiz by on the nearby road.  One day he did something daring.  He saw a car racing along the cross street and knew what would happen.  He waved his stick-arms, drew a young child to run to him, and the others followed.

The car spun on ice, jumped the curb, and smashed into the bus stop where the family would have been sitting.

No one believed the little girl saw the arms move, but they did admit the miracle of their survival. They visited Albert all through the winter, and rebuilt him for years afterward.
