dasher
A chance meeting on a snowy day leads to a friendship that lasts forever.
Sometimes, it takes little moments and chance meetings to feel warm again.
My entry to the Right Back at it Again Contest. This story was inspired by two things: the story Coming in From the Cold by Timaeus and the song Dasher by Gerard Way. The story was originally a Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Entry during an open prompt contest where it tied for second.
Thank you to MasterThief, TheLegendaryBillCipher, Koren, Vis-a-Viscera, Seer, N30, Snow Quill, and ScopingLandscape for prereading during/after the contest.
