The Story of Sam: Survivor of the Great Bear Aurora

Snow falling from trees in small, sparkly flakes, waterfalls roaring in a quiet, remote valley, the sun just starting to set on the wintry forest. Sounds peaceful, right?
If only it wasn't late spring, about 2 degrees out, and if only, Sam wasn't alone.
