&¨¨&¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨&
&¨&&¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨¨
&¨¨&¨&¨&¨& 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. ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨¨
&¨¨&¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨&
&¨&&¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨¨
&¨¨&¨&¨&¨& ¨&¨&¨&¨&¨&
