#¨#¨#¨#¨¨# in  the  endless   winter  day,  on  the #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ crystal white  plains... we trudge along #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨  the train tracks... themselves slowly   #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ snowed over,  in  the  still hours since #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨          the last supply train.          #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨                                          #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨     bell-like sounds of the blinding     #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ ground. rifles  attached  to our  wrist, #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ sharing  in  our bloodstream.  my husky, #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨      my warm-coffee-in-cold-snow...      #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨

#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ the  first  five  shots  you  can  spend #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ indiscriminately,  they hurt but deal no #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ long time damage  to  the  shooter.  the #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ next five  you  must spend  wisely, they #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ will  take days to heal. the  final five #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ you    must   not    spend    at    all. #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨                                          #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ weeks earlier, in the  weak autumn dawn, #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ in  the  blue-gray fog...  something  is #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨ burning  with  a   deep  crimson  flame, #¨#¨##¨##¨
#¨#¨#¨#¨#¨       untameable by water or wind.       #¨#¨¨#¨¨#¨
