COTWBrave the weather

From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 02:35, 30 December 2017

You decide to brave the elements; lying to the local you say that you have a place to sleep in town and you head off. As darkness falls you lose sight of the lights of the village. The temperature starts to drop below freezing and the gear you're wearing can't keep out the cold. You decide to make a fire. After gathering some kindling you realise that it is damp and you can't start a fire with it. Off in the distance you hear the wind pick up and the temperature starts to drop well below freezing.
Your teeth start chattering, your "winter" gear wasn't enough to keep out the cold. Your hands start shaking and your muscles are too cold to pitch your tent. With each gust of wind you can feel the heat and energy being sucked from you.
You lay down on the ground to rest and recoup some energy but all it does is allow snow into your boots, freezing your feet. You can feel your fingers going numb and soon you can't feel them at all. Your feet soon follow and it becomes impossible to walk. You drop onto the ground and flail in the snow desperately trying to stand up, but your efforts are in vain. Slowly you feel your body slowing down, the cold feels less severe and you close your eyes.
You never wake up.
Your body is found the next morning when the local you were talking to heads out to look for you.

THE END.
