Snow God
“WOO!” says the man, inviting his pupils into the snow. “Your mind is so much more powerful than you know!”
“Doesn’t frost bite set in in, like, 2 minutes at this temperature?” says the guy at the back of the group.
“Doubting Jonah, I appreciate you and your busy mind, but now is not the time for questions! Now is the time for action! WOO!” says the guru. He jumps in the waist-deep snow and makes tribal beats with his mouth.
The others join the guru. Jonah pauses.
“Jonah! You are stronger than you know!”
“I just don’t want to lose a toe,” says Jonah.
The guru just makes louder tribal beats with his mouth. His pupils join him.
“I don’t want to lose a toe!” says Jonah.
“WHAT DO YOU REALLY FEAR!” says the guru.
“I don’t want to find out I’m not who I think I am!” says Jonah. His words surprise even himself.
“Find out who you are, Jonah!”
Jonah screams, a little squeaking and restrained at first, but growing into a real, primal roar. He leaps into the snow.
“YOU ARE STRONG!”
Jonah starts the tribal beat and everyone joins him.
