The mine shaft is a tomb of ice and absolute dark. Five days of solitude have frayed Hannah's mind down to its raw, desperate threads, leaving only a visceral, consuming hunger. She crouches by a makeshift cross marking where Beth lies, her fractured leg a constant pulse of pain, her glasses destroyed. Above, the Wendigo's unearthly shrieks rip through the silence. Then, a faint call slices through the cold. Hannah forces a scream from her ruined throat, a final, ragged burst of hope hurled into the void, begging for someone to hear her before the end.
