Magdalena: Journey
Magdalena set out Saturday morning, grateful for a weekend without snow, picturing herself struggling to climb Mittelmont in her small and vulnerable, aged Corolla. Once she got a job, she would buy snow tires.
With the car packed with emergency blankets, chemical hand warmers, sand, salt, a snow shovel, and of course a flashlight, Magdalena carefully slipped into her dirt-encrusted car without staining her flowing skirt. She pulled on her sunglasses and drove smoothly down the county road in the glaring white light of the winter day, orienting herself by the single peak visible throughout the entire region.
The closer she got to Mittelmont, the whiter her surroundings became. As the car started to climb, she realized she was no longer engulfed by a white light, but by white fog. She took off her sunglasses and tried to pick out where the snow ended and the fog began, but it was impossible to tell. How odd, she thought. She hadn’t seen any fog on the way here!
She knew she had arrived when she reached a parking lot. There were only a handful of other vehicles in the lot. She chose a space and got out of the car with her purse and an envelope containing a list of references and her general purpose resume.
