Stranded in the Wilderness/Rabbit

From Create Your Own Story

You slump down sheepishly in the driver's seat, eyebrows furrowing in worry, long ears set back. You already miss the warmth of the car's jenky heater, however broken it may have been. Rubbing your paws together, you flip the switch toggling the emergency lights and try to steel yourself. Outside of the windows, white plains of snow blind your vision.

Hesitantly, you ease open the car door, and a shrieking gust of cold air chills the interior immediately. You're wearing several layers under your tan winter coat, but the unprecedented snowstorm makes you wish you brought twice as many. You never, ever enjoyed weather this cold.

There's no way anybody's going to drive by in this weather, or on this road, and no way they'll even find your car (or you) after another few hours of this ferocious storm. You hate for the options to be so limited, but you already know what your decision must be.
