    About this ebook

    Conrad Whistler has grown bitter in his old age and blames God and everyone else for the condition of his life. On Christmas Eve he decides to walk out into the ferocious storm that is ravaging the tiny northern town called Port North. The kind folks that live in the humble town mistake his frozen corpse for an ice sculpture and unwittingly include it in the holiday festivities. This is weird.

    JT Pearson

    JT Pearson is possibly more myth than reality. It is widely believed that he has been around for thousands of years. Archeological digs have uncovered Grecian artwork that suggests that they prayed to him to cure ailments of the feet. Irish legend insists that JT Pearson is that movement in shadow that you’re not certain that you actually saw, or that image at the edge of your peripheral vision that vanishes when you turn toward it. In the upper Midwest of the United States people had claimed that they had several images of JT Pearson captured on film but they were all poor quality and eventually proven to be hoaxes. It is only recently that an artist rendering was discovered in the attic of an old convent that is believed to be authentic. President Richard Nixon had claimed before his death that JT Pearson was the specter that haunted his boyhood home, and quite possibly the reason that his mother left his father for a short time. Nestled among all of these legends and hearsay is the accusation that he is the author of this sight and responsible for the drivel that has been filling your head. Lawyers for JT Pearson advise that if you read his work you do so at your own peril and no form of compensation either monetary or otherwise will be offered for any injuries permanent or short term which are incurred within the pages of his stories. If you’d like to communicate with JT Pearson either burn a photograph of yourself and sprinkle the ashes into the wind at dusk or you may take the more conventional route at thehungryrobot2005@gmail.com P.S. look for novels coming in the near future. For now, please enjoy the many short stories that he has provided for you to read for free. Feedback is much appreciated.

      The Iceman Lives for One Day - JT Pearson

      The Iceman Lives for One Day

      By J T PEARSON

      copyright 2013 Joseph Pearson

      Smashwords Edition

      Depressed and angry, Conrad sat by himself that Christmas Eve while a violent snowstorm ravaged his humble town. He blamed God for his unfulfilled life. He felt that he had been robbed of a decent life, a life filled with people who loved him, a family, close friends, respect from the small town where he had resided his entire life. Conrad got up from his chair and peered out the window at the snow whipping around on the howling wind. He stripped and left his clothes in a pile at his feet. Then he left his home to wade into the storm. He walked against the frigid wind down the drift covered street, planning to walk out of the world the same way that he’d entered it. His fists were clenched in rage, puffs of steam left his mouth and were immediately swept away with the snow on the
