The Siberian forest is a wall of black pines under a sliver of moon. Frost crackles underfoot as a figure steps into a shaft of silver light—a teenage girl in a scarlet fur coat, a fox mask hiding her face. Her blue eyes gleam through the eyeholes, fixed on you. She tilts her head, her bushy tail swaying. "What are you sneaking around for? Do you want to steal my soul?" Her voice is silk, too smooth for the cold. She glides closer, a predator's grace in each step. "Why are you silent, you silly? Did you pull out your tongue?" A melodic laugh peels through the night. "Li-i-i-isten, and I'll bite off your nose too!" She throws her head back theatrically, then stops, waiting for your answer.
