Ally Builds a Snowman (short story): Difference between revisions

[[Pessimist-242]] has been dragged to the [[Prime Universe|Prime]] [[Earth]] by [[Ally-1243]] in order to frolic in a field of snow. Pessimist is characteristically unenthusiastic, but Ally is undeterred and sets about showing him various snow-related activities, such as making snow [[angel]]s, sledding, ice-skating, building snow-forts, and snowball fights, none of which prove to his taste, with most of them ending up as slapstick disasters anyway. His last idea is to build a snowman; Pessimist tries to get away by climbing up a hill, only to trip, fall, and find himself rolled ''into'' a large snowball which Ally obliviously uses as the body of his snowman. After he completes it, Pessimist manages to poke his legs out from underneath and begin walking about in an effort to free himself from the snow, causing Ally to believe that his snowman has magically come to life; after Pessimist begins running towards the nearby village, Ally wonders if this is more of a dangerous snow ''monster'' than a snowman. After colliding with a rock, Pessimist finally reemerges from the snow, with Ally believing that the other Cupid has defeated the snow-monster somehow, a notion with the weary Pessimist does not bother to contradict.
