“Hey! You can’t sleep here.”
Zachary Weston had closed his eyes and let sleep pull him under. The
simple fact was that sheer exhaustion meant he couldn’t physically stay
awake any longer. Sleep came quickly, the sleep of the desperate man,
despite the furious aching pain in his lower back. He had pushed on through
the pain for the last week. Ironically the ice and frigid temperatures, whilst
freezing his extremities, helped ease the aching.
Behind his eyes he saw a crackling fire in an iron grate, the red and
gold flames casting a beautiful light throughout a room decorated for
Christmas. A tree stood tall in the far corner, its sparkling fairy lights,
colored tinsel, and baubles catching and glinting random colors.
“You can’t sleep here.”
Presents were scattered and piled, haphazard and thoughtless in their
arrangement, for there were so many. Books and songs and warm clothes
sat in wrapped paper, festooned with silver and gold bows, his name
scrawled in gold on a fair share of them.
“Hey, you can’t sleep here.”
Outside the window it was snowing, not a blizzard, but soft fat flakes,
which fell in a mesmerizing dance to join the soft shapes already hiding the
mature garden from view. The cold meant the outside of the windows were
frosted with creeping white tendrils that drew random patterns on the icy
glass and reflected the colored lights from the tree.
“Hey…”
Zach bent down, picking up the first present, looking back at his
mom. She was smiling and happy to see her son so excited, sharing nods of
understanding with his dad. They both had so much love in their eyes.
“Hey!”
Someone was speaking to him from outside the room, but he couldn’t
see who. That didn’t matter, because if he concentrated hard, he could focus
on the gifts. He shivered, cold seeping into him, and unconsciously he
moved himself closer to the fire, frowning when, if anything, the heat near
him diminished. Stupid fire. He took his next gift, pulled at red and silver
paper and uncovered the softest of sweatshirts, thick and warm and smooth,
in a startling blue that his momma said matched his eyes. Despite the fire,
he was still so damn cold, and quickly he pulled it over his head, the heat of
the soft material on his frost-chilled skin comforting and warm. He smiled
as he was as wrapped with affection and love and the sparks of a family
Christmas as he was with the sweater.
