Kidgeweek day 5: Supernatural
He felt his body give in to the icy snow storm that insisted on knocking him to the ground. But he had to keep moving and seek refuge as quickly as possible, or else he could fall asleep in the snow in a deep sleep from which he would surely not wake up.

Hours later, the storm began...
