Secrets in the Snow

Hollie Shay

One Friday morning the students of Eastbrook High arrive at school to complete their final exams before the Christmas holidays But what begins as a December snowfall quickly becomes a threatening winter storm, and school is dismissed for the day. The students who are unable to arrange transportation before the storm worsens are forced to remain in the school gym. These six familiar strangers are the only students remaining as the outdoor conditions worsen and the doors are locked. Wills are tested, friendships are created, and secrets are revealed as they realize they must rely on one another to make it through the night.—Brittany Goodwin
