finally Hallmark
makes a movie i can watch.
It's called Blood in the Snow.
yes,
the plot is basically the same
but with a slight twist.
there's the pretty girl
leaving big city life
to come back to her hometown,
traveling by train
through the quaint villages
along the way
to take over
the Christmas tree farm
that her
father had run for years,
but he's sick now with Lupus,
and can no longer do the work.
So, Mary Jo takes
over the flailing farm, when one
snowy day
at the church parking lot,
she sees a tall handsome
stranger in a cowboy hat,
with wide shoulders
and a grim
smile. it's
her boyfriend from high school
who used to play
left guard on the football team,
although he should have been
the quarterback.
he's sizing up a tree,
holding it by the trunk
in his strong
cowboy hands. squeezing
the sap out of it
as he trims the bottom with
steady swings
of a glistening machete.
shyly she asks if she can help him.
don't i know you,
she says?
brushing the falling snow
from her wet blue eyes.
you've made a very good selection
there.
where's your car?
i'll get you some rope to tie it on.
she doesn't know that it's
Michael Myers
without his trademark hockey mask.
he's home for the Holidays,
sticking around
after Halloween,
anxious to attend
the upcoming high school reunion
to settle old scores.
he lets out a familiar
grunt, which gives her lonely
heart a flutter.
