Will father and son survive an attack of icy elemental predators?
The Snow Men


Sparky Author Icon
Shut fast the door, the old man said.
Tut! Boy, were you born in a tent?
Cut wood stacked near the glowing hearth;
But blizzard wolves have tracked our scent,


Turtle ~ KanyáthƐko:wa:h Author Icon
Wind does howl through the crisp night air
And winter hunts with all her might.
Grand bellows beyond the door jam
Fanned fire that cuts through cold of night.
