The Long Dark- A Journey Through Frozen Hell

Luminescence Fugue

Yukari finished repairing the pistol, turning the screwdriver.

Suddenly, the lights flickered on.

Yukari looked up, staring at the artificial sunlight before looking at the flashlight flickering on the desk.

She picked it up and stood up, walking to the door and stepping outside to enjoy the sight.

The aurora waved in the sky, like a flag, but worry soon set in, remembering what this does to animals.

...

Nishizumi and Vaughn scanned the area, looking out for the wolves, knowing this is when they will attack.

Vaughn's lantern illuminated their path as the dogs ran, glowing with a green tint.

"Are you sure your dogs are okay?" Miho asked, uneasy.

"Yeah, they just glow green. It's the wolves and bears I don't like. They get a little angry." Vaughn said.

After a few minutes of silently scanning, several howles echoed through the trees as several wolves bolted from the treeline.

"Shit! 5 o'clock!" Vaughn yelled, aiming his pistol.

"Haw! Haw!" He yelled as Miho sat on her knees, aiming her rifle.

The dog sled moved left as the dogs pulled the sled harder, moving it faster.

"Mush! Mush!" Vaughn yelled, cocking the hammer of his pistol and aimed.

A wolf got close to Vaughn, growling as he fired a shot, instantly killing the wolf.

The wolf dived into the snow, ceasing all movement as his pack ran past.

Miho quickly looked around, keeping an eye on any incoming wolves and making sure the sled didn't crash.

The wolves followed, growling and barking at the sled and its occupants.

A wolf ran towards the left side of the sled towards Miho as she raised her rifle and fired.

Her bullet hit the wolf in the shoulder, wounding it, but it didn't scare it. It only made it angrier.

The wolf jumped as Miho leaned back as the wolf crashed into the side of the sled, causing it to lean off balance and lean right.

"Fuck!" Vaughn yelled, leaning left and managed to save the sled.

The wolf grabbed Miho's sleeve as it attempted to pull her off.

Miho raised her fist and punched the wolf in the nose and face.

"Watch your arm!" Vaughn said, aiming his pistol.

He fired a shot, hitting the wolf behind the shoulder.

The wolf dropped to the ground as the sled rushed on.

Miho looked at her arm, only discovering the sleeve was torn slightly.

The wolves got closer, surrounding the sled from behind.

"We're surrounded!" Miho said.

Vaughn was silent as he held the pistol, looking back at the wolves.

Miho looked ahead and saw a large boulder.

"Vaughn!" Miho yelled, pointing at the boulder.

"Gee! Gee!" He yelled as the sled pulled right, missing the boulder.

They sped past the boulder with the wolves sprinting behind.

One wolf sprinted next to the sled on the right, snapping at Vaughn, and Miho.
