#811 The Storm- Tove Jansson
A woman is alone at home during a huge snow storm. She waits for a man to call her. As the storm gets stronger and the winds create chaos her despair grows. Why won’t he call? She is battered almost lost when he finally does. She lets herself sleep and when she wakes the world is again calm and covered in a beautiful blanket of snow.
The storm descriptions here are pretty good, as is the building of tension.
Notable Passage: “And dreams, what are they? They dig up your fear and display it, enlarged by cruelty. There is no rest, there is no comfort!”
