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.
