  A short breath withdrew from his mouth, suddenly puffing away in the cold Alaskan air. His house was small, filled with none but his Mom and their small collection of everyday objects and utensils. He swallowed, breathing more. He felt a cold rush of air brush against his face and hand, which lay dormant outside of his blanket. He tossed the black comforter to the side, opening his eyes.
