    About this ebook

    "ONCE UPON A SNOWSTORM... AND OTHER STORIES" provides a mix of comedy, mystery, and adventure.

    “Once Upon a Snowstorm” follows two strangers, Nick and Robert, at a local bar in Colorado. Their visit gets complicated when a blizzard flows through and traps them inside. Complications further when the two men, both anxious to get home, discover that there’s no cell service and that the bar has change for only one phone-call on it’s payphone.

    In “The Elevator,” an apartment building’s elevator door fails to close as it ascends into the upper levels, leaving one unfortunate passenger panicked and confused. To make things worse, it gets stuck halfway up. With it being close to midnight, our unnamed passenger can only hope that someone, anyone, will hear his pleas for help and aid him in escaping “The Elevator.”

    “The Box” offers thills and chills as a suburban woman, Mary, opens her door to a mysterious metallic box sitting on her porch. Naturally, she calls her husband, John, downstairs to investigate the item along with her. Is it a practical joke, a bomb, or something that will subvert their expectations?
