King of the castle

Long ago, mountains of snow bury the house. Inside it is so dark. The kitchen light
is always on. He is inside a spaceship, sometimes inside a submarine.
Now he is a groundhog. The window in the upstairs hallway is the new front door.
He climbs out onto the roof, shades his eyes from the glare.

enough snow
for an army of snowmen
not enough coal
