Part 2 - Caught In The Snow

[Ed's view]

The sky is dark grey and the snow harshly falls.

It was only this morning I caught a train to Resembool. The sun was shining then, but now there's a blizzard... and I have to be the one who gets caught in the snow.

If Al were here, I could use him as my protection.

I walk alone along the frozen river we used to play in as little kids. I struggle to make my way down the path that leads to Winry's house.

"This damn snow!!" I yell and clear the path with alchemy, deconstructing the ice down to cold water.

The wind howls in my ear and I am basically deaf.

With my path cleared, I start to walk slowly down the path. I try to walk as fast as I can but my automail leg isn't good with snow and I could feel it slowly freezing. And my real leg, it feels numb and cold and stiff.

I check my pocket watch: 8:00 pm.

As I get closer and closer to the house, I smell an amazingly tasty smell.

mmmm... lamb roast...

I hear my stomach grumble as I think about its flavours.

"Yeah, I know you're hungry, just shut up, okay?" I whisper to my stomach.

My teeth chatter from the cold and I finally make it to Winry's house. I put my umbrella down and lean it against the wall. I try to lift my arm to knock but it felt so numb. I'm about to knock when suddenly the door swings open...
