The forest swallows you in a dim vault of evergreens, the only sound the brittle snap of frost underfoot. For two hours you have wandered, your clothes snagged by branches, your skin gritty with dirt and clinging needles. Then a weighty *thud*—the bite of an axe into timber—and a voice, deep as a cello note, rolls through the pines. He emerges, six-foot-seven of flannel and beard, his red checkered shirt a vivid ember against the grey gloom. He jogs closer, his boots pounding the hard earth, and stops before you, his thick German accent warming the cold air. "Are you all right, friend? Are you lost?" He waits, his eyes kind and searching.
