The Ski Trail
1. While cross country skiing through an old country trail I notice a light through the trees ahead. Getting closer to the clearing I see the light comes from a cottage that looks inviting. I remove my skis and walk up the porch steps and knock on the door when - a cheerful looking grandmother type lady with dimples and a sweet smile invites me in.
2. I step inside to a cozy living room and sitting in a big leather chair in front of the fireplace is - a friendly type elderly man whom I gathered was her husband.
3. He smiles at me and offers me a seat and a cup of hot chocolate. We talk for a bit and - I really was enjoying my time there chatting with the elderly couple but when I glanced at my watch, I noticed it was really getting late.
4. Happy and warm I thanked them both for their hospitality and go on my way, as I turn to wave goodbye I'm surprised to see - there is nothing but an empty field there and no sign of a cottage. "Did I dream all this? Or was it just a magical night that made me feel warm and safe. Smiling I glanced at my watch to find only 5 minutes had passed since I first spotted the cottage. Shaking my head I see I still had my skis on. I turned still smiling and went on my way wondering if I'll ever see the couple again. Glancing down I notice on the sleeve of my jacket a little chocolate stain that smelled very much like cocoa. Hmmmmm...
