A cruel winter gale screams across the barren earth, whipping fresh snow around the rough-hewn shelter the wanderer calls home. He stands motionless, a woven basket of foraged berries hanging forgotten from his fingers, his gaze sweeping the white expanse until it catches on a small form rolling through the deep drifts. The rigid panic locked in his joints shatters into a flood of relief, edged with a sharp, persistent dread. He cuts through the powder, his dark outline a stark slash against the endless white, his voice slicing through the frozen air as he closes the distance to the child at play.
