The old man trudged through the snow, lost in his thoughts. He came around the corner of the old motel looking for his car. There was something about the time of day. The clouds hung over him, creating a solemn atmosphere. The flickering light went on and off from the motel. The uninhabited rooms looked as if they hadn't been occupied since 20 years previous. Snowflakes started to fall again burying him and his emotions.
