In both the cinematic version and the short story, the setting takes place during the period in the Yukon when the sun never rises over the horizon to warm the earth.

While we wait for the server, two men come in and sit at the next table. Sandra has her back to them, and, if I look past her, I see them plainly, seven or eight feet away. They’re different. We order our coffees and croissants. She talks, I do my duty, and then, I begin to notice the two men. I hear them plainly over the chatter around us. One is in his forties

The scratching noises grew louder, telling Clara that the creature was closer to them. How close, she wasn’t sure. The pair raced through room after room, trying to find another exit. The longer they ran, the more scared Clara got. How were they going to get out of here? And…what the hell is chasing them? “Let’s try one of these windows

nice girl, though. I sat next to her once in the bus from Agerstown and we sort of struck up a conversation. I liked her she had a really big nose and her nails were all bitten down and bleeding-looking and she had those damn falsies that point all over the place, but you felt sorry for her. What I liked about her, she didn't give you the horse manure about what a great guy her father was.
