The Journey to the End of the World (Joel Gustafson Stories)
“The ground was totally white.
He stared out of the window, scarcely able to believe his eyes.
It was the beginning of June. Today was his last day at school. At the leaving ceremony they would sing about sunshine and joy and ‘All things bright and beautiful’. And the ground was covered in snow.
A thought struck him. One he’d never had before. Perhaps it was the snow, which could sometimes fall in June, that had driven Mummy Jenny away? Perhaps she simply hadn’t been able to stand it any more? A...ll that cold and darkness and snow that wouldn’t go away, despite the fact that it was summer already?

Only if he had an appointment with the doctor, or had been summoned to the logging company’s office for some reason.MoreLess
