Kris donned a disguise and took the train into town. He needed to shop for supplies: a down parka, pliers, bungee cords, WD-40, carrots, kale, a hand warmer, calcium chloride pellets. There were also a few items scrawled at the bottom of his list the Missus snuck in: Nivea creme, non-dairy creamer--peppermint--and red push pins. So much to do as the minutes ticked by without a care. Kris loved this time of year, the sliver of it he got to enjoy, anyway. Work demanded his attention when Kris would rather sit with the Missus in front of the fire with mugs of minty coffee. He was determined to get through his list quick and back on the train for home so he could stretch out that sliver as far as he could.
