Snowman

"Please don't go, dear" smiled the old man's wife. Alex shook his head and smiled back, reaching for the door. "Don't go," asserted the old man's wife firmly. "Don't go!" "Please stay," implored the old man. Alex frowned. They must be very lonely, he thought. He said goodbye and pushed open the door. The old man ran up and grabbed Alex's overcoat from behind, shouting for him to stay. Alex wriggled away and ran to his car, locking the doors once he was inside. He put the snowglobe on the dashboard. He heard the old man's wife scream in desperation behind him as he warmed the car up and pulled away. Several miles down the road, Alex's car broke down. Two days later, the policemen found his frozen body lying by the road where he had been trying to walk back through the snow to the SOS Souvenir Shop for help. ***
