Pure as the Driven Snow

By Sam Knight

*Short Story*

Ozzie feels something is not right in his life, or-more specifically-with him. In search of answers to questions he doesn’t even have yet, he heads for the swamps of Louisiana to learn about the mysterious Red Unicorn. There, in an out of time and place medieval castle, he meets with the sisters of the Crimson Convent, all nuns who were converted... by the unicorn.

Sam Knight

A Colorado native, Sam Knight spent ten years in California’s wine country before returning to the Rockies. When asked if he misses California, he gets a wistful look in his eyes and replies he misses the green mountains in the winter, but he is glad to be back home. As well as having being Distribution Manager for WordFire Press and Senior Editor for Villainous Press, he is author of six children’s books, four short story collections, three novels, and nearly three dozen short stories, including two media tie-ins co-authored with Kevin J. Anderson. A stay-at-home father, Sam attempts to be a full-time writer, but there are only so many hours left in a day after kids. Once upon a time, he was known to quote books the way some people quote movies, but now he claims having a family has made him forgetful, as a survival adaptation.  He can be found at SamKnight.com and contacted at [e-mail].

Pure as the Driven Snow

At least, that was how she claimed to feel.

Personally, I didn’t understand how someone who said she averaged more than a john a day for thirty years could even remember that phrase. But Dirty Annie, who had turned her life around less than a week ago and now wanted to be called Annabelle, sat on the park bench and smiled serenely at me as she continued her story.

It happened right over there, Mr. Ozzie. She pointed a crooked finger at one of the giant elm trees.
