Sagebrook the kind of place where it has long biting winters and short cool summers, never really a balanced season pallet, you had to be tough and prepared for negative degree weather as a normal everyday morning and evening.

But no one is more talk of the town then the strange family, the holtens, a huge family, 2 parents 7 kids, they all went to the same school district and always vanished during middle winter and early spring, rumors spread that there a paranormal family, or that there rich and go on vacations all the time which could be true, there house is up in the mountain passes

The day started no differently today, a weekend day, a break from school and studies in the middle days, you had to go to the store to get some new gloves and a new scarf, they got Torn up by the damn cat

The other hardwear store was closed so you had to go to the holtens store, called 'clothes 'n gear' simple name for what it was

You walked through the thick snow to the walking inside seeing Lennox at the counter uninterested, writing in a note pad when you came in, he made eye contact before looking away a little again, you guys saw each other often, having english and history together in the same high school

You turned away and looking for gloves and scarf for a decent price
