Short Story By/ Younes Hazza'a
It is difficult for him to get excited, but it soon
melts as soon as he sees the fingertips of a 30-year-old woman, perhaps a
40-year-old woman. Is it deprivation or the search for tenderness or
compensation for his suffering from his wicked wife who is always screaming and
wailing . A man of ice lives with a woman of fire but does not dissolve with
her, nor is she extinguished with him.

As I walked
down a street full of stray dogs, I jumped into my mind as a flash of lightning
memories of the days I spent near that snow man. Perhaps I smiled
automatically when I remembered one day
a women who was offering him a
juice glass .. And before his drinking
it measures its temperature.. He says to her: But it is not cold ..
Replied with an accent filled with ridicule
Dont worry, Professor it is going
to cold inside you .. He responds with a
laugh from behind the teeth:" ha ha ha ha ". She wants to tell him,
but in her own way, how cold he is, how much he is snowy.. He
understood her with his way and responded to her with utmost cold as usual.
He was not an ordinary snow man, but an expert in air
conditioning and cooling, turning free people into slaves, adapting to all
rituals, and molding with all shapes. The snow man is an object in elegant
suits, and this deadly chill is his weapon and his qualification that
distinguishes him from all other beings in
a country where its citizens are characterized by haste, and a lot of foolishness and perhaps
ferocity and barbarism.
In a society like this to be snowy, you'll be a
prophet. Your coldness will be one of
the most important miracles besides your
pretence of stupidity and extravagance in showing modesty, goodness and savvy.
I admit that I got some of his coldness by staying
with him for quite some time.Before that I was very emotional, a lot of anxiety
and tension .. This is a feature I learned through my staying with him,
thus I become so different from the rest
of my family
I admit that it is very difficult to reach that level
of cold so that it becomes snowy .. In the sense that you face the balloons
exploding in your face, and the insults inflicted on you. Facing stinging criticism with extreme chill, perhaps with a hidden
smile that makes the other fall fast to your deadly chill.
He often tries to sound romantic when he speaks to the
women , showing more kindness and softness than that women,
Perhaps it is a case of melting fabricated not
up to the degree of real gonorrhea .. But courtship and proximity to the goal,
but with plastic flexibility up to the extent of the flexibility of silicone
material .. This courtship and this flexibility often opened the appetite of
many women even office cleaners, approaching him to seduce him while he pretend
that he has already fallen in love, but they instinctively as females realize without
difficulty the level of his coldness .. However, they continue to approach
greedily in financial aid .. Although they know how stingy he is compared to
the driver and private secretary who works with him ..
I was not quite sure how he gained so much coolness
that some attributed to the practice of yoga, which led him to this amount of
sponge, and the flexibility to absorb the heaviest shocks with losing nothing
of his coldness degree .. Is it preoccupation with meditation In the self from
the inside turns into a permanent injection of a refrigerant ? Perhaps it is exactly that.
I remember how he makes himself in a (silent)
for long hours while showing others around him that he is interested in
listening to what they say or what they complain or what they are demanding Of
rights or privileges ... listens for hours and all he responds to them is two
words (ok .. exactly).. and As soon as the other person has finished his
speech, he join him to the outside to
farewell to show him how important he is and how much he is interested in.
However, everyone will soon reach the same conclusion. These words do not
mean what they have understood . Many
of them continue to follow while the reply is the same reply (ok ..exactly) but
nothing is implemented .
Little by little, the place where he is, turned into
something like a freezer.. Many cases are referred to him that are
intended for freezing and cooling.
His boss put him in that place and knows how good he
is to keep things storage for a long time, perhaps for years. ...
The place burst, everyone evaporated ... and the snowman came out the rubble
in very majestic shape ,but his coldness did not help him this time to
stay more . The explosion was enough to turn the iron into melting . The snowman turned into lava, leaving the
freezing doors in the open position to receive new ice creatures in preparation
for the next ice age.
