"I am so cold," I think to myself. I feel a hard breeze brush pass the hairs of my skin. I open my eyes, clouded vision to see that I am surrounded by a white ground. "Am I in heaven?" I mumble to myself. It's hard to tell the time of day, clouds cover every inch of the sky. As my vision starts to clear up I notice there is no land out on the horizon . I am on a mountain.

I continue to scan my surroundings, In my view are miles of hills and rocks coated with snow, some with trees and mint plants spreading across. Below me, a dirt path is visible. No shoes, only a thin cotton shirt with slightly muddy black pants. Attempting to stand, I feel uneasy and tremble to my feet. I begin to follow the dirt path down the mountain, or at least I think this is the way down. The cold air reaching my skin makes it hard to continue walking. The snow directly touching my feet only make me want to curl up and let nature take over. But I mustn't stop now, for there is a much better way to go than here and now.

A few minutes pass and in my view, an unusually dressed person is standing upon the snow by a campfire. Fire... something I desperately need. Picking up the pace, the person in front of me starts to appear more...furry? There was lots of fur where the head would be, and a small mask in the center. The body type and size was similar to a humans , but was overly skinny and covered in black cloth. This is not a person. I slowly start to approach this creature, not sure whether to feel scared or saved. "Hello?" I push out. "RAAAH" The creature picks up a stick and begins to run towards me. Realizing the mistake I made, I make a run for it as well.

My feet feel as if they are slowing me down, too numb to tell whether I am outrunning the creature or am about to get knocked in the head. My heart pounds hard as my legs start to feel uneasy. I fall. "GO AWAY!" I screamed, hoping to scare it away. It only crept closer, that is when my vision went dark. Did I pass out? Did the furry creature hit me in the head? What is going to happen to me now? I am not ready to go yet. Please.
