Does it still hold the awe and excitement of a once winter wonderland? Or does it feel more like an artic blizzard with no way to see or predict what to do next?

Mrs. Bruce gave her baby to Jacobs so she could use it as pass to get back to her alive if they captured her.

Everybody's eyes were on me, as if trying to search out any secrets I might be hiding. Bloodhounds sniffing after a frightened rabbit. "I just don't like anyone."
