I'M INNOCENT [ I ]

Time passed away unconsciously as I walked on endlessly in the snow like a penguin. The snow now has reached above my ankle which increased the difficulty in searching for wood.

Atleast in deserts you can find cactus and can make fire.. wait can cactus be burned?

SEARCH GOOGLE. I don't know. Anyway back to my situation, I don't think I can walk anymore and joints are aching and my breathing became hard.

" Haah... haah.. " I sat down in the ass chilling snow and couldn't help but lie down. I'm too exhausted and I'm feeling suffocated. My fingers are body is freezing up very quickly.

NO!!! I jumped up and stood with wobbly legs, " I'VE TO SURVIVE! " cough.. cough.. cough.

After escaping from the coughing feat I regained the urgency and marched on in search of wood.

.....

" Eh? is that... is that a mirage? or true? " I contemplated at the sight beyond my eyes, " Ah, do you have mirage in Snowy Mountains too? "

The thing which I was seeing was a small bush with little to no leaves but enough dry wood to lit up a fire.

I walked cautiously and held it gently, the rough texture of the wood was felt even through my numb hand.

" Ha- Ha! Hahahah-AAAHH!!! I FUCKING FINALLY FOUND IT! hahah-cough-cough fuc-cough! " Dammit!

This cough is nothing. I thought. Because I got the wood now I've to make the fire quickly.

I tried to break the branches but it didn't break and just got twisted. I tried again without giving up but it just went on twisting and turning further without any sign of breaking.

" UGH! If I can't break it then I'll just pull it up. "

I huffed and puffed and got ready to pull the damn thing out.

STT -- STTTTT---

I pulled the bush but it was like stuck with gum to the ground and won't budge a little. I clenched the stem hard with both my hands and gave everything in this pull. The snow loosened and the roots were coming out but rapidly with the pull the thorns dug in my palms and red blood flowed out. The fingers were turning blue from cold and pressure from clenching hard, I bit my molars hard and endured it and pulled harder -

THUNG--!!!

Like a recoil I was pushed hard and fell down in the snow. The back of the head smashed on a hard snow making me dizzy and the whole bush thrashed on my face making my eyes watery. I hurriedly rubbed the water from my eyes because it was turning into snow and stung my eyes more making it redder.

I looked down at the bush the cause of all trouble which was small but had massive roots like an iceberg under water.

SLIP--

??

HUH?

I think I moved a bit from my original position? I glanced at the snow. No I think my it's an illusion as I just hit my head.

SLIP--

"... " The feeling of moving forward was real now. I slowly turned around and noticed the gap created by pulling up the bush and the loose snow.

GULP.

SAAAHHH---

The snow is now slipping down moderately. I looked up at the snow accumulated in the cliff and a sudden premonition hit me. I hope its not-
