When nothing feels goodlike it should and there isfrost spreading out fromthe center of the windowyou can look and seeit walking through the tree linepast the lake up to the glass.A moose with bleeding antlersafter fighting others getting in the way.It rounds the corner and knockssnow off the roof when it collideswith the side of […]
