Up On the Rooftop
“Julka slipped out of the line, and headed for the door. The poor man. Everyone in this strange town blamed him for something they didn’t even understand.
No wonder Santa had a policy of staying out of Greater World affairs.
Julka hurried out of the Burger King. More cars were coming in, all of them with families inside, and everyone looking miserable.
She understood how snow could make people miserable—she got tired of it herself, long about May—but she never understood how anyone minded the fi...rst snowfall of the year, particularly one as dramatic as this one had been. Yes, it was cold; yes, the wind was harsh; but oh, it was always so beautiful.
That’s what these people—all of them—seemed to be missing: The very beauty of living.
She cut across the parking lot, then went to the side of the health club. She only gave a cursory glance around her to make certain no one was watching—these people were so sour that they probably wouldn’t accept real magic if they saw it.
Then she crouched, and sprang upward, using all those magical muscles she had gotten when she got this assignment.MoreLess
