Short Story : The Warming In The Early Night's Life

In the story“Winter Night,” the author Kay Boyle refers to a time before WWII in Germany. A woman was a sitter to a little girl named Felisha, and ironically, this was the third year anniversary of the last time she saw another little girl in the concentration camp. The sitter would be thousands of miles away in another country sitting with Felisha in New York. She made a connection with this little girl as she had years earlier with another little girl that looked similar at the camp. In the story, we find out the mom’s definition of work was a being a prostitute or woman of ill repute. In my opinion, it makes you wonder if all of the hours away from home was worth the money she was bringing home. However, her husband was away at war, and I suppose this was her way of working to pay the bills.

Winter Solstice was a very special time in Stormholt, with Kenna and Val’s friends visiting them every year for a grand celebration. It was cold and windy that night, and even though Kenna and Val were having fun, they were also feeling restless. “Damn it Kenna, this dress is so itchy! I hate having to be so formal.” “I know Val, but at least I let you do your hair the way you like.” With an amorous look, Kenna eyed Val up and down. “You’re not wearing anything underneath that dress are you, Val?” Grinning at Kenna, Val nodded, “You know me too well. But I’m pretty sure it’s not just me.” “I guess you’ll have to find out later.” As Val observed the way Kenna’s hair flowed in the wind, she had a hard time concentrating on anything else. “… and that’s how I invented plumbing. I… Val! Are you even listening?” “What? Oh yeah, very funny, Whitlock.” “Val! It’s not supposed to be funny, it’s supposed to be interesting!” “Ok, then it’s really interesting,” Val said with her eyes locked on Kenna, not fully aware of what she was even saying. “Ugh, I don’t know why I try with you, maybe Lia will be more considerate.” With that, Whitlock walked off, leaving Val alone with her wife. “Kenna, this shouldn’t be possible, but when you’re bathed in moonlight, you’re even more beautiful.” Placing her hand on Val’s thigh, Kenna smiled and gave her a kiss. “Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about you, my gorgeous wife.” Kenna looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them.

Socks leveled the knee with an affixed tassel. Robbed in custom made cloaks and capes that drape the body, men’s fashion marked a powerful statement. Designed differently quickly identified position, kings, lords, nobles, knights and peasants. Nonetheless, clothing was warm and comfortable and always suited for battle. It appears the fashion design switched because currently lady’s garments resemble the men of the medieval era. Yet during that period, lady’s gothic robes swept the floor surrounded with a matching scarf and cape. The chosen cloth, whether for men or women, usually radiant in color, portrayed the crafty work prepared by selected seamstress (Bednarz, Miyares, Schug, & White, 2006). My love, words are too vague to put into picture the beauty of these incredible clothing.

When the train holding Jews was passing through German towns, workers threw bread into the train cars to feed the Jews and watched them kill each other for the bread.

Heat-moon was traveling with a lack of supplies when he came along route 72. He found his way into blistering Georgia and hoped to discover a spring of fresh water. Unfortunately, his thirst became a thing of the past when his hunger began to escalate. The sunset began catching up with Heat-moon while he traveled to the much anticipated buffet he had learned about on a passing sign. When he arrived at Swamp Guinea’s Fish Lodge Buffet, he placed an order for the special they offered and awaited his flavorful feast. The waitress brought him everything seasoned and southern, and Heat-moon devoured it. After stuffing his stomach Heat-moon paid his bill and attempted to walk off all he’d ate at the University of Georgia’s

The chamber pot was an object that was frequently excavated but historians were unsure of its purpose. It was too large to be used as a drinking cup. Due to diary entries, historians inferred that chamber pots were used as some kind of toilet for when it was too cold to go to an outhouse. The use of chamber pots gives us insight on the harsh living conditions of the past and how brutal their winters must have been like.

On a dark and stormy night, young Jonathan Russell received a package from his father. His father wouldn’t tell him of the contents, only insuring him that his mother would tell explain everything to him when he was older. As his father was leaving to an unknown destination, he made Jonathan promise him that he would guard the package with his life; this was the last time Jonathan would ever see his father.

On a cold and windy night, some seventeen years earlier, a knock came upon the front door of Claymore Academy. Headmaster Quin, who had fallen asleep in his chair by the fireplace, awoke, uncertain of what had disturbed his slumber. He sat upright, now completely alert, and listened intently to the sounds within, but the occasional snores from the sleeping quarters or the chimes of the clock in the hall were nothing out of the ordinary and could not have been the reason for his abrupt awakening. He sat calmly and quietly, until he heard the sound again. Someone was at the front door. He got up and swiftly walked down the hallway, glancing at the clock as he went by, 2:00 A.M. Opening the door, he saw a soldier disappearing down the road. He could not make out his affiliation in the darkness and stepped outside to call out to him, but his foot bumped into something on the stoop, some kind of parcel, wrapped in a silk blanket. Bending over, he picked it up and took it inside to his study. A bloodied note pinned to the outside, he reached to turn up the lamp’s flame next to his chair. Written on the note in bold but definitely feminine handwriting was only the word, Mangus. He carefully unwrapped the silken blanket to find a sleeping child, perhaps only a few weeks old, and a pouch heavily weighed with coins. His unusual arrival was most likely a result of the Great War and the dangerous times that men now lived in. He walked down the hall and gently
