W.M.Akers
“I
don’t
want
to
go
out
there.”
“Come
on.”
“Schmabsolutely
not.”
“Schmabsolutely?
What
does
that
mean?”
“It’s
what
you
say
when
absolutely,
positively
isn’t
strong
enough.
I
schmabsolutely,
schmositively
will
not
go
out
on
that
ice.”
Linda’s
father
crossed
his
arms
and
looked
at
his
skates.
Linda
returned
the
gesture,
staring
back
at
him
with
frosty
determination,
far
colder
than
the
skating
rink
behind
her.
She
and
her
father
were
at
the
climax
of
a
very
literal
cold
war.
It
had
started
months
earlier,
when
the
weather
started
to
turn.
“Oh,
look
at
that,”
Linda’s
mother
said
one
night
over
dinner.
“It’s
supposed
to
be
under
thirty
this
week.
Winter’s
really
coming.”
“Woo‐hoo,”
said
Linda.
She
was
a
summer
girl,
through
and
through.
While
other
kids
talked
about
ski
trips
and
snowball
fights,
Linda
closed
her
eyes
and
transported
herself
to
the
beach.
While
her
family
sang
“Winter
Wonderland,”
Linda
hummed
“Surfin’
USA”
and
“Take
Me
Out
to
the
Ballgame.”
And
when
her
little
brother
threw
himself
into
the
snow
to
make
snow
angels,
Linda
imagined
she
was
in
the
park,
lying
on
her
back
in
a
field
of
thick
green
grass,
the
sun
baking
her
skin
like
she
was
a
calzone
in
a
pizza
oven.
But
there
was
one
winter
activity
she
dreaded
most
of
all.
