This was inspired by the photo prompt and also because we just got a fresh blanket of snow last night. Hopefully I’m a bit more prepared than the girl below.
Chillin’ in Alaska
Ramsey cursed. Who knew that Alaska in the winter would be so cold? She trudged through the snow, icicles forming on her Ray-Ban sunglasses and looked for a Four Seasons. Even a Marriott would work.
There was nothing but trees.
It was all Google’s fault. She had woken up two days before just hating the world and everyone in it. She needed to get away so she had searched for the place with the lowest population density in the US. It had said that Alaska had 1.3 people per square mile, but that was BS because she had walked at least a mile and hadn’t seen anyone.
She dreaded seeing the 0.3 people.
Her feet were frozen and she was ravenous. “I’ve never been this miserable in my life,” she said out loud. She had to tweet about it. She pulled out her phone.
No bars.
What was the point of being miserable if nobody knew about it? She had to go back, if she could just find her tracks. She set off, going back, and started recording a video to post later.
“Hey friends! Ramsey here. Just chillin’ in Alaska. Wish you were all here!”
It was dark and getting colder. There was a growl in the woods somewhere behind her.
“That had better not be the 0.3 people!” she yelled.

Don’t worry, it’s probably just a regular pack of wolves. 🙂

I just hope the statistics geeks do not read this. Enjoyed the innovative take.

Well, I’ll get some comments about the dreaded 0.3 people wandering around if they do. 🙂

Darkly funny! This line made me laugh, “She dreaded seeing the 0.3 people.” I got a good laugh from the whole thing. Thanks for that.
