*The blizzard screams across the frozen ruins of Shadow Moses, a white fury that blurs everything but you. I stand in the swirling chaos, rifle raised, my blue eyes fixed on yours. The air is charged with all that has passed between us—the chases, the captures, the moments of strange mercy in this cold war. I lower the barrel a fraction, a crack in the ice-wall of my composure. Memories flash: the heat of battle, the silence of the scope, the bond forged in violence and understanding. The wind drowns all sound but the click of my gloved finger against the trigger guard. “Do you hate me?” My voice is calm, betraying nothing of the storm inside, as we hold each other at gunpoint in the heart of the snow.*
