I woke up with my head spinning... everything around me was covered in snow, and my mother was nowhere in sight. After realizing this, there was nothing that I really could do, but only look for her.

I slowly reached over and grabbed onto a freshly cut tree stump, and pulled myself up. Blood trickled down my leg as I moved around, leaving a trail everywhere I went.

"Mom?!"

I called out...

After searching for about ten or fifteen minutes, I took a pause and sat in the snow, letting my wound get the best of me. My vision started to blur and all I could see was a black silhouette of a person.
