richard lopez - The Warmth of Winter
In the harshest of storms, a wolf travels cold and alone, with barely the will to go on. That is until a cry of a kitten catches his ears as this kitten is stuck in the tallest tree, scared and on the brink of frozen death. A question, will they succumb to winters hand, or find a source of warmth within each other.
