Last night I awoke to a bright beam of light coming in my window, I ran to the window, but found nothing. It must have been nothing. I stayed at the window anyway. When the light came again, I was a little blinded, but I was ready. I caught a glance before it disappeared. I couldn’t believe it, it was Khione, goddess of snow. After reading books about Greek Gods I’d recognize her anywhere. I wonder what she was doing here. I mean, here in Taiwan it doesn’t snow, only on the mountain tops. I’m pretty sure whatever she’s doing here doesn’t involve sightseeing Taiwan’s mountains. You’d expect her to be in Canada or Russia. No, she comes here instead. What could she be doing here?

When the brilliant flash came again I yelled HEY!!! I didn’t care what the neighbours thought, I had to take a picture! I mean, it’s not everyday you see a snow flying around in a hot, humid place!! The flash appeared almost immediately. “What” Khione said. “What are you doing in this kind of place?” I asked as I tried to find a camera. “Seeing if anyone likes snow,” she replied. “I like snow” “Okay, to prove you like snow, you must answer these questions TRUTHFULLY.” she said “truthfully” in all caps and glared at me like I would break that simple rule. “Okay, fine.”

“Would you rather be in Mr. V’s freezing classroom or be in a heatwave?” “Well duh, course anyone would choose Mr. V’s classroom, it isn’t that cold.” “Okay, I wasn’t making it serious enough, would you rather freeze to death or burn to death?” “Well duh, freeze, burning sounds more painful. “Okay, you’ve proven yourself worthy of me.” “What’s that supposed to do?” “I’ll grant you one wish if it is in my power” I almost said can I take a picture with you? But I said, “Can you uh…Somehow…Make it snow here? Only in the winter” “Okay, but why?” “Because I want to see snow again and some of my friends have never seen snow.” “Oh Okay.” AND IT SNOWED!!! SO HAPPY!!! This became the mystery of the century.
