A massive snowstorm raged; no power, no heat. The elderly couple cuddling under blankets; two hands clasped, two embracing, breathing each other’s breath.
Sometime later, two infants are placed in a warm crib. Two hands touch, clasp, two reach, embrace; they breathe each other’s breath. Two souls recognize.
Hello, again.

This is written for the following challenge prompt:
https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2021/02/28/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-149/
It was also written for my challenge: Write a Great Novel in 50 Words or Less. The title does not count against the word limit, but cannot be used to tell any of the story.
I like that theory.

The circle of life; an ending is really no more than another beginning. Nice!
