Dear Potential Reader,
Welcome to the start of winter, here’s a tale set in a snowstorm when a pair of contractors have an accident on the side of a mountain. It’s called THAT WHICH ENCOMPASSES ALL, and get yourself somewhere warm.
The title is one of those long unspecific things, and to be honest, I probably need a better title for this short story. But I’ve always liked titles that have ‘THAT, THOSE, THEY, and a bunch of other words around it. Too often titles like PREY or SNOWFALL get used and they don’t really separate this PREY or this SNOWFALL from any other story, film or song titled the same thing. I get that it makes marketing easier, but I also miss those old movie posters with titles like FRANKENSTEIN CREATED WOMAN or THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US.
So, I apologize for the unmarketable title, and will admit, it’s not apt. But it’s the title I saved the file under when I wrote it and I’ve referred to the story by that name enough times it would confuse the heck out of me to call it something else.
Hope you enjoy.
All the best,
DAN JIRE
