Biff Mitchell lives in a hovel at the edge of the world. He has no life. He has no
friends. Neighborhood children throw stones at his hovel. At night, Biff throws stones at
his hovel.



Someday Biff plans to write a book about a man who lives in a house that is stoned daily
by neighborhood children who—through some magical twist of events—turn into
snowmen.



When Spring arrives, the man’s house melts.
