The Dead of Winter

by Kevin O’Donnell, Jr.
Four miners, trapped over winter in a mountain cabin, run out of food, but three people in a love triangle show up from the future with a couple of candy bars, a flask of drink, and a feud.
“Oh, well—” He runs his pasty white hands through hispockets while Cole and the girl do the same. “I have a candy bar or two, I believe,” and he brings them out. “Cole, you have a bottle, don’t you?"

The guy with the black hat scowls at him, but brings a flask out of his hip pocket and lays it on the table.
