SHORT STORY SUBMISSION FOR BOOKAHOLICS' "INFURIATING CHARACTER" COMPETITION.

	It was winter. Crimes suddenly increased here in Oristalis. The cold weather up here in the North made it almost impossible for people to leave the warmth of their homes. This only made it easier for hellions to roam around and terrorize homes without many witnesses or usually none at all. Winter in Oristalis was supposed to be warm and cozy. This year, all the usually warm lights were turned off. The people were scared.

5 parts Ongoing Mature

For 250 years, the world has been buried beneath ice and shadow. The Shroud swallowed the sky, putting the planet into an endless winter. The sun is nothing but a myth, and the last of humanity clings to survival in the underground cities. So does Odette Voss until the fall of Aetheris. Odette barely escapes, forced onto the frozen surface she's only heard horror stories about. The cold is brutal. The ruins are haunted by creatures that should not exist. And the few survivors left will do anything to stay alive but so will she. The only things keeping her going are the thoughs about her brother and the safe haven, Aurelia. If Kieran survived, she'll find him. If Aurelia is real, she'll reach it. And no matter what lurks in the ice, she'll be ready.
