In the East Coast of the United States, Massachusetts is experiencing a snowstorm .

The thickness of snow outside the house will reach past your calf, but three steps in front of the door will make you buried in the snow . The dog sled slid into the room . The neighbors have a cheerful smile, and from their open door came joyful Christmas tunes .

Yes, today is Christmas . December is coming to an end, and there are six days left before the New Year . . .

Johnson Brown is lying on the second floor window sill . The neighbors boy is wearing a hat and a mask, joyfully playing with the dog in the field of snow . In the dark night, the light from the house is warm and beautiful .

He turned his head, pulling the curtains .

The room is very cold . Johnson wrapped himself in a thick blanket of wool, his face cold and pale .

The heating at home broke down last night, Rather, it cant work, so the room temperature is very low .

Johnsons former State does not have so much snow, and winter is much warmer than here . Johnson hasnt seen so much snow before, but right now, whats reflected in his eyes is not something novel, but a very quiet place .

The house is a mess, like its been destroyed by a monster .

The closet has a big hole, and fragments of vases are piled in a corner . The wall lamp stand is tilted, one of its leg is missing, and can only be supported with books . When Johnson sits up, the bed makes a creaking noise . It seems like in the next second, it will collapse .

No one is at home .

The entire house is empty, cold like ice .

Katie and Charlie went out to fight again .

This newly married couple is Johnsons new guardians . They said that the legal adoption documents has not yet passed, so Johnson is living here temporarily as the owners relative .

The owner is Katie, a former public school teacher of Johnson . She is beautiful and kind .

Her husband is Charlie, a kind-hearted lawyer, who is always kind and welcoming to children .

This is the entirety of Johnsons knowledge about them . But when they arrived in Massachusetts, and after living together with the couple, Johnson found that theyre not the same as he thought .

Kindhearted Mr . Lawyer, except for work, never go out, and do not participate in community activities . He also seldom greets neighbors, and there are times when he comes home late . He also kicked the dog from the neighbors house .

Kind-hearted Katie is not volunteering and doesnt go to church to help distribute food .

They said that because the familys burden became bigger, they can only spend more time on their job . Their smile is still warm and welcoming, very concerned about Johnson, but their feelingsnot really good .

One night, Johnson heard arguing voices downstairs during his sleep . He rubbed his eyes and got up, quietly walking to the door, and heard Katie in a violent quarrel with Charlie . It seems to be about the money, and he overheard the problem about the family accounts .

This argument, to Johnson who used to be in the slums, is something hed heard every day .

He walks back to his bedroom, thinking about whether his decision is wrong or not . He should not have left the Southern State, and let teacher Katies home to fall into bad luck .

The Pedrione City was seriously affected by the hurricane, and the urban area is almost in ruins . The people who did not evacuate in time are on the missing list, and some bodies have been found .

Johnsons Uncle Rick is still missing, and he listened to Mr . Lawyer say that the adoption papers cannot be processed at this time . At present, he cant go to school, so he can only stay at home .

Theres plenty of food here . Theres meticulous care . There are also TV programs and computer games, but Johnson is not interested at all .

The injured teenager is very sensitive .

Living together every day, eating each meal on the table, watching talk shows on the couch every night, every day saying Goodnightthe more time they spend together, the more strange Johnson feels .

Katies favorite program is Guest . It was humorous, but they always make fun of the poor, metaphorically saying that theyre social garbage .

The positioning of this program is to please the middle class, and the people who aspire to be in this class . Johnson has not yet been drugged by the bustling city life, so these programs makes Katie happily laugh, will always make him uneasy .

He is in this home, like a guest, and no matter how much hospitality and care he receives, he cant fit in .

After finding out that a few midnight quarrels were witnessed by Johnson, Katie and Charlie didnt argue at home anymore . They will go to the community park, or the bar, telling Johnson that Theres always conflicts in life, but we think that its wrong to argue in front of children, so we should avoid it .

Just now, they went out again .

Just now, they went out again .

With such a big blizzard at Christmass, they left him alone in the cold house .

Mr . Lawyer did not call for a handyman to fix the heating appliance . Katie said that they went out to see if there are stores that are still open . The smiles still remain on their faces, but its very reluctant .

Johnson buried his head in the blanket .

Last night on Christmas Eve, they were eating turkey in the living room when the whole house suddenly shakes .

Then many black hairballs appeared . Johnson, across the windows, also saw long-armed monkeys showing its teeth and bouncing around, shaking off the snow among the pine trees .

***

On the neigborhoods streets, a woman wearing a down jacket angrily cried out, Ive had enough, Charlie! You saw it too, when the monsters came, Johnson only hid in the corner! Fortunately, there are only a dozen hairballs, if its the long-armed monkeys and even the man-eating squid?

A man with a black hat, patiently says, What do you want? Tell him, baby, in fact we have mysterious powers in our bodies, manipulate it to protect yourself and defeat those monsters?

The woman squinted her eyes, breathing deeply, Why cant I?

Hes a victim of school violence . Johnson Brown suffered in his childhood, and he himself is disgusted of violence! Katie, did you forget about the contents of the book?

When faced with a monster attack, he can only tremble and cry, this is our protagonist? I wish Id never taken this mission! Blonde Katie is angry, Id rather be with that unlucky Jack, flying to the other side of the ocean, and walking into the devils field . Its somewhat better than this one .

She continued to chatter about Johnsons shortcomings .

He wouldnt wash his socks . He would not use knives and forks, even breaking a set of porcelain dishes . He wont use the mowing machine to mow the lawn, and he wont even use the microwave oven! God!

Katie has a This is a disaster exagerrated look on her face . She accused the man in front of her for leaving everything to her .

Last night in the Abandoned World, we finally killed those hairballs, but he did nothing! The furniture in the room is completely destroyed, where will we get the money to repair it? We are already in deficit last month, and we still didnt receive this months cheque!

The lawyers face became impatient, and he raised his hands in surrender, not wanting to argue with Katie, Ive already gone to hurry them!

Youve been gone for three days . Katie is mad enough to cry .

Youve been gone for three days . Katie is mad enough to cry .

She powerlessly squat by the roadside, thinking that there was no heating at home and that the house would be cold, she doesnt want to go back .

Hey, Katie, dont do that! Charlie had to advise, Listen, we cant leave Johnson alone in the house . Need I tell you what the pyschiatrist said, an injured child can easily act extreme! If faced with abandonment and prejudice, he may develop an anti-social personality! We cant make Johnson like that, dear, we have worked hard for so long, God will bless us .

A pair of man and woman embraced in the snow .

They are indeed a couple, or they wouldnt get a job like this . Initially, the couple was the envy of a lot of people, being in close contact with the protagonist, and becoming an important relative in the protagonists life . This is as good as a pie dropping from the sky!

Katie almost died from happiness .

I knew it! If its really such a good thing, why didnt the leader himself come?

The lawyer is startled, hurrying to stop Katie, and giving her a warning stare, Do you want to die, saying such words?

Katie pushes her lover in frustration, annoyed and said, Cant you just give me some love! After coming to this world, we discovered that our hosts are losers . You allegedly helped people transfer property, and I illegally sell soft drugs . We were almost sent to prisonwont we be better without the leader?

Youre not afraid that hes a murderer? If he dies, we will also die . How much will it damage the organization?

Katie listened, not daring to speak again .

All right, baby! Lets go home and bring your wallet . And to our Johnson, lets just say that no one can repair the heating, so well go to a hotel for a night . Charlie persuades .

The two finally reached a consensus, turning around and going back to the house .

Ten minutes later, they were frightened . Theres a set of a childs footprints in the snow, extending all the way outJohnson took advantage of when theyre not at home, and left .

Damn it! He ran away!

Johnson!

Katie anxiously said, He never set foot one step outside the house these days . He even rarely comes out of his bedroom, why did he suddenly go? There is so much snow outside!

Katie, did you say something? Charlie looks at his girlfriend in doubt .

Shit, I dont know!

Katie, did you say something? Charlie looks at his girlfriend in doubt .

Shit, I dont know!

Both complained to each other while following the footprints on the road . They met the neighbors boy who came back, and they saw the footprints disappear on the road where it was mixed with other footprints, and they can no longer distinguish which is his .

No! Were going to die! Katie collapsed while grasping her hair .

***

Johnson staggered on the road .

The cold wind is giving him a headache, but he didnt want to return to that house .

Katie seems to have a problem with finances lately, and dinner has only been potatoes and bread for the past three days . He seems to have brought doom to them .

In that unfamiliar house with messy decorations, Johnson cant settle down and continue living there .

He wants to return to the Southern State, to go back and find his Uncle Rick . Maybe his missing Uncle Rick is still playing in the casino . That cold, shabby ghetto is his home . No TV, and no ironic talk show Guest .

But the Southern State is too far away

Johnson identifies the churchs cross sign in the blizzard, and he was suddenly in front of a flowerbed . A tall man is wearing a leather jacket riding a modified heavy motorcycle, stopping in front of him . Its high tires, on such a cold day, let out steam with the engine is still running .

The huge sunglasses almost covered the mans entire face .

Mister Johnson weakly uttered .

The man put the vehicle across the road where the snow has been cleared . If he doesnt make way, Johnson can only step on the piled up snow which is half his height . It doesnt feel good, and his clothes are wet . Once again, the cold wind blows

Little ghost, you want to freeze to death on the street?

The man picked Johnson up, looking him up and down with a frown, and wrapping him directly in his leather jacket .

SSir? Johnson is sluggish, then struggled .

Dont move! The man pulled up the motorcycle, and crazily drove it . The fine snow is crushed beneath the tires, creating a snow mist drifting in the sky .
