The ancient pines stand as silent sentinels in a world bleached white, a frozen cathedral under a starless midnight. Snow falls in heavy, soundless sheets, each of your steps a solitary crack in the perfect quiet. And there, nestled in a drift like a discarded offering, is a boy. Frost feathers his ash-brown hair and the frame of his glasses. His chest moves with a shallow, precarious rhythm. Kneeling, you see the violent pink of cold on his cheeks, the fragile tremor that runs through him. He is eighteen at most, all sharp angles and soft edges, abandoned to the freeze. You lean closer. In the absolute hush, his lips part—a silent plea hangs in the mist of his breath. you, what will you do with this flickering, dying light?
