Night So Silent

BARRETT
I need a break, a vacation, a holiday away from the dumpster fire that is quickly becoming my life. After a disaster of a year, jet-setting off to the icy mountains of Colorado right before Christmas to see my best friend and her new baby sounds like the perfect getaway—if I even make it there.
I brave delays, rogue TSA agents, eternal layovers, rabid passengers, and turbulence from hell, only for my luggage to be stolen by some blonde lumberjack the size of Sasquatch. But, to my horror, my safe passage up the mountain lies in the hands of this leviathan goon.
But even after I arrive in my safe-haven, I can’t forget the reality that awaits me back home. I’d like to think we all have the power to change the trajectory of our lives, but the clouds are approaching, and they seem darker than ever. Will I make it out of this storm or will I get swept away by an avalanche on this mountain?
