Setting: It was a dark and stormy night...
The snow blew across the fields with a fury that removed all of the color from the world. A "white out" they had called it. The trees were heavy with the weight of the snow, and as the limbs bowed and drooped you could almost feel the unbearable weight upon your very own shoulders. She felt sorry for them.
