Paradise
“Commune with nature,” they said. “See polar bears walk by,” they said. “Your very own cabin,” they said. “A veritable Arctic Circle paradise,” they said. She signed up, wanting to be away from everything and everyone.
No one had said anything about summer snow storms. She could barely see the next domed cabin.
She was grateful for the heating that worked, the fully-stocked kitchenette, and the electric blanket. In the bookcase, she found the complete works of Agatha Christie, PD James, and Ruth Rendell. Maybe paradise is white, cold, and isolated, she thought, reaching for Murder on the Orient Express.

It's a long story ... 
It sounds very tempting.
Dear Tresha,
I guess you could call it the ultimate getaway. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Really, to me that doesn’t sound bad. Of course, I’m an Agatha Christie fan. Well done, Tresha. 🙂 — Suzanne
I know, right? No guilt in taking the time to read as much as you want, as that’s all you can do.
Perpetual couch potato…sounds appealing, until the food runs out!
As long as there are books….it can pass as paradise 🙂
Hah, she’s my kind of girl. I’d do the same and love it. Great story.
I wouldn’t mind this at all! For a certain amount of time, anyway!
Oh dear, hopefully she won’t be getting any ideas. I loved the opening lines and the whole idea of the vacation gone wrong.
I hadn’t thought of that! Hopefully the books will get her through the storm without helping her plot any revenge.
