¨¨¨¨-~;§&§ 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. ###§&§;~-¨
