About this story
Then an arctic fox steals your bag and turns human when you catch it, a neighbour arrives on a brakeless snowmobile, and a tree lands on your head. Death offers a deal: relive your past, present and future before the day is out, fall for none of the three, and never tell them that last part.
Who you’ll meet
Three rival Spirits — Past, Present and Future — competing for the reader's heart on one Christmas night.
How it opens
You storm out of your modest cabin and into the village, adjusting your bag strap, your jaw clenched with irritation.
This can't be happening.
You can’t believe your favorite secluded place has been turned into a gaudy Christmas village over the past year.
Well, well. Look who literally fell into my arms.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Sorry, I thought this carriage was empty...
