The fire was just close enough to remind the snowman of the meat man’s new invention and its power to destroy him.If the snowman, whose name was Wink, had known that the meat man would invent such a rotten thing, he never would have built the man in the first place.“Make him strong,” said the meat man, who called himself Hurt. “Strong and smart.”Wink continued to knead and shape the flesh on the ice shelf. He had already given it the same rough form as Hurt, which wasn’t much like a snowman’s body at all.Instead of an elegant arrangement of stacked spheres, able to function in concert or independent of each other, Hurt’s body consisted of a head and appendages permanently affixed to a central trunk.
