Congratulations for your win on this short story which is amusing and just wonderful. I got such a kick out of the theme and I think most of us can relate to it. Marilyn

That's why I'm glad I live down in Florida, so I don't have to deal with that anymore. Haha. Thank you for the great review and congratulations, Marilyn.

It's in times like this that junk mail just ain't worth the effort. A nicely constructed story. Here's hoping the journey is worth it. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from JudyE
This is very cleverly written and you certainly led me up the garden path. I had no idea where your story was leading.
If you don't mind me saying, every sentence bar one starts with 'I'. You might have done this deliberately and, to a point, it works. But I might have looked at varying the sentence beginnings. For instance, 'I attached my snow shoes to my boots and took my last breath of warm air' might be better as 'Attaching my snow shoes to my boots, I took my last breath
of warm air.'
I think 'snow shoes' should be one word. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the great review and help, Judy. Yeah, after rereading it, I realized I had way too much of it starting with I. At the time, I was pressed for time to get it in by the deadline. I only changed one of them but there's still too many but it's not really that big of a deal. I was just goofing around anyhow. Lol. Have a wonderful holiday and thank you again.

Hello, I hope this review finds you well. Thank you for sharing your 100 word story with us. To tell a story in so few words is a challenge that I think you executed well. Good job!

This is an interesting entry for the 100 Word Story contest.
I didn't see the end coming, junk mail. Funny.
Well told and good luck to you with the contest.

It's not a true story, of course. Thank you for the great review and good luck wishes, Sharon.
