The forecast calls for snow. The internet calls for panic. The grocery crowd calls for bread and milk.

When a winter storm threatens, Gabe loses a fateful game of rock-paper-scissors and must venture into the suburban nightmare known as the pre-storm grocery run. His mission: bread, milk, and toilet paper. His obstacles: empty shelves, a shopping cart with the steering of a drunken goose, and an increasingly angry woman in fleece pajama pants.

"Bread and Milk" is a short comedic story about the chaos we create when the clouds roll in—and the absurd lengths we'll go to for our families. Perfect for anyone who's ever stood in a barren dairy aisle, questioning their life choices.
