Jack London
For Oklahomans, this morning's 16 or so degrees is certainly...shall we say..."nippy." But as I made my way through downtown, wearing a large percentage of the contents of my closet, I was reminded of Jack London's "To Build a Fire."
It's a story most people have read -- usually in elementary or middle school -- but it's also such a harrowing tale that it stays with you (every time I'm out in snowy, winter weather, certain lines and scenes from the story come instantly to mind).
If you haven't read it, or need to read it again, you can find it here:
Read the story: "To Build a Fire" This page also contains a link to London's first version of the story, which differs greatly from the tale with which most are familiar.
