I swear I saw Emma in the snow. She was looking at me disappointed. There was a child behind her. A dark figure claws around her. They were gone the second I closed my eyes. I'm seeing things now. Just what I need. I barely slept under this snow. It reminds me over the past month of sleeping like this. I'm freezing every day with no sunlight. I have a fire that's keeping my face warm but it wasn't enough. I need to get back there. Without Autumn it will be difficult getting back. Why didn't I mark a damn tree when I got here. I still have my compass. I know It was due west. I am heading in that direction. I'll make it before I see Emma again.
I can't walk for a minute. My chest and arm are racing. I can't make it back like this. This is much for me to handle. I think I should lay in the snow for a little while. Maybe I'll catch some sleep. It was snowing everywhere at this. My body is cold and in pain. It is hell. I can't take this much cold any longer. Now, this is getting ice all over. Don't want this to get wet.
I see Emma again lying down next to me. I wanted to say I miss her so much but my month is freezing. I can only stare at her. I saw something else. Me being at my business succeeding at my food. Eating dinner with our friends and family. My son and daughter play with their food, and I fight with them. Laughing. It was all I wanted. Now I might be with them in this snow. Just get this over with. I'm ready.
