Setting: It was a dark and stormy night... 

The snow blew across the fields with a fury that removed all of the color from the world. A "white out" they had called it. The trees were heavy with the weight of the snow, and as the limbs bowed and drooped you could almost feel the unbearable weight upon your very own shoulders. She felt sorry for them. As she entertained the idea of running out to free them from their burden she noticed that the mountains were nowhere to be seen; it was as if they had been dragged from this sacred place by the wind itself, never to be seen again. Hidden away, like so many other things in the snowfall.
