##@&^^=,¨¨ 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. ¨,=^^&@###
