it’s snowing again, you can’t remember the last time it wasn’t snowing. has it always been snowing? have you ever seen real grass or felt real warmth? 

you pass some kids playing hockey on an empty parking lot. they stop there game when you pass. they all wear blank expressions on their face and their eyes appear to be glazed over 

you think you see some canadian geese fight over what looks like a human femur   

tim hortons always seem to appear when you need them. even in the middle of nowhere. is it just a coincidence?
