    Icy

Icy the snowman stepped off the bus in downtown. The snowman had a broom, a scarf and two black coals for eyes. He wandered around the block looking at a map of Parodiopolis. Then, he stopped off at a stationary store and purchased a postcard.

    After he purchased the postcard, he scribbled a message on the back. “Dear mom, I’m fine. I’m in the city now.” Then, Icy dropped the postcard in a mailbox.

    Icy looked at his map once again as he walked around town. He hailed a cab and got in. He wanted to be taken to the Lair Legion. The cab drove to the Lair Legion. Icy got out and looked up at the mansion.

    The cab driver stuck out his hand. Icy dug into his wallet and found a twenty. The cab drove away and Icy walked up to the Lair Legion mansion. When Icy knocked on the door a Hippo opened it.

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“Um, I’m looking for Mr. Hatman,” Icy said.

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“One moment.” The hippo turned and closed the door. After a few moments the hippo returned.

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“He’ll see you now.” Icy walked to Hatman’s office. He opened the door and Hatman waved him in.

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“So good to see you uh, Mr. Icy?”

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“Yes.”
    
    Ã¢â‚¬Å“I found your ad online.”

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“Alright.”
    
    Ã¢â‚¬Å“The kids need a new snowman. Someone crashed their jeep in their old one.”

    Ã¢â‚¬Å“I’ll stay through mid-January.”

“That’s great,” Hatman said. He and Icy made their way to the front lawn. “Sometimes the kids like hide and seek.”
Hatman left Icy on the front lawn. Icy stood there and waved at Legionares as they entered the mansion.
