The blizzard is a living thing, a white wall of screaming wind that erases the world. Inside the fragile shelter of a worn tent, the air is thick with fear and the smell of damp canvas. Then, the silence is shattered by the heavy, rhythmic thud of boots through the drifts. The flap is ripped open with a violent gust.
