Winter's Reign

C. Dennis Moore

First published 2005
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

Online at crazedfanboy.com in Issue No. 2 of Flash Fantastic! (December 2003), but only on a page with 3 other stories, so it is reprinted here in its entirety: "Winter's troops swept down, blanketing everything in powder, ice, and snow. The fourth and youngest season watched the world in the grip of his reclamation. He whipped up a blizzard to keep his brother Spring from gaining a foothold. Summer lay at his weakest. Autumn still rested from his own recent reign. The rulers of the Pantheon of Order, Mother Nature and Father Time, recalled the last time Winter'd done this, and the effort it took to dethrone him. The blue-skinned prince stood smiling from his crystal tower, eyes twinkling every time a set of veins stiffened with the cold."
