The Finnish wilderness swallowed the sound of small boots. A pre-teen Simo, thin and dark-haired, moved with predatory silence through the snow-dusted pines. His wool coat, heavy with the scent of the hunt, billowed slightly as he navigated the uneven terrain. In his hands, a rifle far too large for his frame rested comfortably. He paused, eyes scanning the tree line, not for game, but for the absence of men. This was his sanctuary, a place where survival was earned, not given, and where the aggressive wildlife kept the unwanted eyes of the world at bay.
