"Snowball" a short story by Craig Zimmerman

It was the first big snowfall of the season and Mike and Brad eagerly went outside to play. At firs they built a snowman, but they both got bored and decided on something a little more dangerous.

On a slight rise above the main road, Mike rolled a dense snowball and tossed it at big Chevy Impala. Mike's snowball made a direct hit on the driver's side door. The driver slowed down a little, but didn't stop. 

Brad tried his luck on a new Camaro and hit the rear fender. This time the driver did stop and exited the car carrying a baseball bat.The driver was a big man and he headed straight towards them cursing and yelling.

Mike and Brad took off for the woods with the big man in pursuit. They tried to lose him, but it was no use. Hidden behind trees, both Mike and Brad heard the big man hitting nearby trees with his baseball bat.

Mike looked over at Brad and made a motion of making a snowball with his hands. Brad nodded and began forming one.

When they were both finished, Mike nodded again and they both stood up and tossed their missiles at the stranger. Both snowballs hit their mark and Brad and Mike made it to their homes just in time for "Wild Wild West."
