Unfortunately, the wind and the snow have made it impossible to navigate through and after a series of twists, turns and attempts to shield yourself from the storm, you find yourself on the doorstep of a clearly neglected cabin-type house. You're not sure where it came from but you don't have much choice but to make your way inside to avoid the fierce weather.
Inside, there's enough wood to make a fire in the fireplace, a small cot with a few dusty quilts, some half-burned candles and several canned goods (all that seem decently aged). You might even be able to find some alcohol hidden away, if you're lucky.
Judging by the way the wind is howling and the snow is piling up, though, it looks like you're going to be bringing in the new year stuck in this unfortunate place - better make due with what you've got!
Drew was hurrying to his friend’s house for the night of New Year’s Eve. There were snow flurries coming and it was quite lovely. Well it would be, but he preferred the heat. Ting! Was that a … a hailstone? The size of a pea! He better get to his friend’s fast or he might be on the wrong end of bruises. He hurried faster and suddenly he was in a blizzard so thick he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face. He trudged in the blinding snow and hail for what seemed an hour and found what seemed to an abandoned cabin. In the big city? Odd. The door seemed to open easily. He called out. No answer. He wrenched his way in and shivered as he forced the door shut. He looked around and found a fireplace with a decent amount of wood, and two cots in the closet with some dusty quilts. He continued his search.
