The Fox's Snare

Like a garden set ablaze-a pyre for the promises of the old regime-the dreams of millions smolder, awaiting only the clock's final toll. The revolutionaries have succeeded. The streets roar with celebration, a symphony of hope for a future flung wide open right ahead. But is this the dawn of a new bright future for Russia, or merely another cruel lie from new leaders who pose as shore riders, promising a land of wealth and warmth they can never deliver?

Never having known sunlight, Boris Ivanovich and Lyubov Ivanovna were like flowers born to wither. Now, they must make choices to survive a dual frost: the cold of the Russian winter and the far more desperate cold of human indifference.
