Vienna (The Hunters in the Snow)

I feel a fire inside, warming. Warming and burning.

Burning and blazing.

It comes on soon after we unfold our stiff, sleeping bodies and set out into the frozen blackness. A hundred crunching steps or less and the flames are licking at our chests, our throats gasping from the challenge of the snow-covered inclines steepening towards a sullen half-moon, the smoke of us pluming from our slack wet mouths. The wind means no candle lamp can light the way.

We chase the day.

Pray for prey.

Perhaps our prayers will be answered as thin limbs of light start to streak the dark and we walk and walk, searching for signs, and in the soft wakening sun the ashen sky feels as heavy as a laden sow. A net of snow suspended. There is surely more of it to fall. Deeper, thicker.

We walk into it.
