High in the mountains is safer than most places in a zombie filled world, but it comes at a cost. The winter storms are harsh, and packed snow can let the shambling hordes circumvent the fortified walls. A tale of survival where the elements are as much a threat as the undead. Note: First Chapter written for a 100 word challenge, and I was inspired to write each subsequent chapter also of no more than 100 words.
