It was admittedly crowded in the house, but it made for a cosy atmosphere for their annual reunion.

A howl of wind rattled the windows.

An hour later he stood under the twisted awning, drinking contentedly from his bottle of beer.

Everyone else remained inside the warm house.

Written as part of the Friday Fictioneers challenge hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (more details HERE). The idea is to write a short story of 100 words based on the photo prompt (above).
