To pounce on a pheasants, or to yell Bang!” (Heynen 1). The boys ultimately decided to sacrifice. They gave up their jackets in the freezing, cold, ice storm, to pheasants who were “blindfolded with ice” (Heynen

The wind howled through the leafless trees, often relieving the weighed down branches of their snowy burden. The smooth and unblemished snow coated everything, leaving the road to the cabin indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain.

The wind outside howled like a hungry wolf. The falling snow covered everything. It may have been daytime but the blizzard kept the sun from shining even just a little bit, it was just about black.

It all began where there is no snow, in my home town of Tucson, Arizona. One week before the accident we had all still been in school, talking our mouths off about what will be doing for winter break. While everyone was bragging about some sunny beach on one side of the nation, we were talking about the powder coated slopes of freezing cold Colorado.

One morning, I woke up in my room, and pulled up the shades to see the ground covered in several blankets of snow from a snowstorm.
