Summary
The Lumberjack and the Loom aims to describe the cruel winter weather of the northern United States and how it creates isolationism within small communities. Recently, I moved from the South to the North for work and found myself confused by the weather. Some days, the front door to my house would be entirely blocked by a wall of snow or surrounded by a thick layer of ice. Others, I would make it out the door, just for my car to slip and slide down the mountain’s iced roads. For me, the weather quickly turned into a terrible nightmare. Waking up each day, it was a gamble if I would be able to go grocery shopping or to go visit my friends. Now that we are moving into spring and there is no more ice to slip on, I wanted to write a short story that encapsulates my experiences and feelings about the weather up here while also incorporating all of my fears and anxieties. The Lumberjack and the Loom was the result of that. I hope that you enjoy the story.
