The Polar Vortex

Tori

You would think Mother Nature would give us a break. She didn’t and plunged us into the icy depths of hell. Because I’m sure, hell froze over with how cold it was.

I layered my clothes, but I was still freezing. After checking the thermostat, I noticed the temperature kept dropping.

/"Dad?/"

/"Yeah?/"

/"The heat is out!/"

/"Well, that’s great!/" Dad grumbled.

I came down the stairs.

/"Greg! What’s wrong with the heat?/" Mom asked.

/"I’m checking!/"

/"Dad! The heat is out!/" Gabe said.

/"Thank you, echo! I’m checking the furnace!/"

Gabe came down the stairs as I put on my winter coat.

/"Are you leaving?/"

/"No, I’m freezing./"

Mom came into the living room dressed in a hoodie and sweater. We heard yelling and banging.
