Midnight Flurries

In Central Texas, snow is more of a rumor than a season. It gets mentioned on the news, and most years it never shows up at all.

Then one night somebody squints out the window and asks if that’s snow, and within a minute everybody’s outside in their socks. Nobody bothers with coats. The street goes quiet the way it only does for snow, the flakes come down through the streetlight, and the neighbors are out too, filming it and pretending they aren’t thrilled. By morning there’s a thin layer on the car and the grass, and it’s gone by lunch. Nobody minds. It counts.

Midnight Flurries has a navy shimmer barrel printed with silver filigree snowflakes, joined by a winding silver ribbon and scattered with little white pearl dots. The hardware is polished silver, and the clear upper barrel holds clear aurora crystals, the kind with a little rainbow in them, plus a clear aurora crystal on top to match. It’s the pen you keep out all winter, long after the real snow is gone. 

She’s a winter seasonal, here for the snow and all the gray weeks after.
