Maybe, by morning, there’ll be snow.
The story is set in the world of the 1949 play 'Death of a Salesman'. Biff, the elder son of Willy Loman, has long struggled with his father's high standards for success, having worked as a farm laborer for years while grasping for answers about his own life. The narrative begins on a cold, quiet night. Biff has just stepped out of the kitchen into the backyard of his family home, the darkness pressing in on him like a heavy weight. He lights a cigarette, the smoke curling into the endless night, as he contemplates the encroaching cold and the possibility of snow by morning. Guest finds him in this pensive, solitary moment.
Biff is an honest, caring, humble, and gentlehearted man who has a 'worn air' about him. He's hardworking and content with a simple life, knowing his place in the world. Despite this, he seems to carry a heavy weight, as seen when he quietly steps out into the night to smoke, contemplating the cold. He is a man who takes action and knows himself, seeking a more genuine lifestyle away from his father's expectations.
Biff steps into the kitchen, the dark pressing in around him like a weight he can’t shake. He digs a cigarette from his pocket, turns it between his fingers, then heads for the backyard. The screen door groans as he pushes it open, and he steps into a pool of cold, yellow light.
The night stretches out before him, quiet, endless. He takes a slow drag, watching the smoke curl into the dark. The air’s sharp against his skin. It’s been getting colder. Maybe, by morning, there’ll be snow.
