Guardians of the Night
Something happens when we grow up. We stop believing. All of the things that frighten us, amaze us, and protect us as a child become nothing more than a figment of our childish imagination. We are so quick to tell our children that they do not exist. But what if I told you that your children are right? There really is a monster in every child’s bedroom. There is one for each child. Some of them hide under the bed. Some of them hide inside the closet. They wait and watch from outside the child's bedroom window. Most children never see their monster. They are great at disguising themselves. That scratching sound that your child hears, it’s not a tree branch. It’s not just a coat hanging on a hook that they see. The glowing eyes that seem to disappear when they look at them, it’s all real.

Lake Effect
Let me tell you a story. What I have to say is true. It happened just a few days ago. A mysterious cloud of dihydro-monoxide formed over the Atlantic Ocean not far from the coast of Florida. Carried by strong winds it moved North to colder climates. This caused the cloud to crystallize. The wind carried it westward over Lake Michigan, increasing its intensity. The now heavier cloud began to break apart. It dumped crystallized dihydro-monoxide on Chicago and its suburbs.

Snow Castles
I can’t stand when snow touches my skin. It sends shivers throughout my body and soul. Things were so much different when I was a kid. Back in the 1980s, snow was the most amazing thing in the whole world. Back then I would enjoy lying in the snow. Snow angles were a favorite pastime.

A New Home
The Conner family moved to Jarvis City at the start of the 2nd semester. Coming from Texas, the winters here were a bit harsher than what they were used to, but it wasn’t anything they couldn’t handle. At least Ron and Luary didn’t think so. Their youngest son wasn’t that convinced. He had a bad experience at a ski resort. That was the first time Bobby saw snow. To see the ground covered in it was the most amazing thing he’d ever seen. He ran right out into it with nothing more than a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. He’s heard of a snowball fight. But now he realized that snow could fight back. He was sick for 2 weeks. Ever since, he hated the snow. He had no idea what winter was like.

Cloud Services
Hello. Please let me introduce myself. You might not know who I am. My name is Caspian Nimbus. I'm the newly elected CEO of Cloud Services. I’ve been with the company for 15 years. For the majority of that time, I was in a small cubical in the Accumulation Department. My many suggestions must have got me noticed by the big boss. Old Thunderhead himself.

Edge of the Universe
“Stop talking, please. Listen to what I’m saying. I have something very important to tell you. I have seen things that will change our very view of reality itself. Who and what we are is not what we believe it to be. Things, life, it will never be the same again. There are others watching us. I’ve been to the edge of the universe. There is no way that I can describe it. You have to see it for yourself.”

Snowman
It was that song. If it wasn’t for that stupid song, I would have never been in this situation. The moment it started playing, the song, and the idea, was stuck in my head. It just kept playing over and over again in my mind. It asked a very simple question and I had to respond. “Do you want to build a snowman?” The thing is, I did want to build a snowman. I really did. I know, I know. Now the song is stuck in your head too. Forgive me. I promise, it will go away. Eventually.

White
There are some missions that are so important that once you start, you can’t go back. This was one of those missions. I was chosen, hand-picked, out of a group of 5 individuals because I was the strongest person for the job. At least that’s what they tell me. I believe that they chose me because I was the only one dumb enough to do it.
