vr_trakowskiIt's downright apocolyptic out there. I know, it's a mere nothing to those of you in harsher climes, but I could very easily picture this scenario as taking place after some collapse of government or civilization, and knowing that even when the show lets up there won't be any stores open or streets plowed. I'd survive until my food ran out, and that would be it, done.
I went out to feed my ferals. They're still under the snowed-in bush, but there's snow under it now, and I'm afraid they're freezing, but there's nothing I can do about it. I can't reach them, and even if I could they wouldn't let me catch them. I can't even toss in a blanket, there's no way to get it in past the branches without lying down and shoving, and I'm afraid that would scare them out into the storm. It's not that cold, really...it's the wind.
I'm reading Banewreaker, which really isn't up to the quality of the author's later books and suffers from the common epic fantasy flaw of most of the characters having no sense of humor. It's depressing. I'm getting cabin fever. I want glorious fic to read, a nice long well-written story I've never seen before with a beautifully happy ending, but I haven't found one.
Grump.
