No Way Back

A long mountain passage has completely exhausted us. There are only snow and stones around us. Bad weather. Strong cloudiness. We haven’t seen the sun for a few days. Snowstorm, wind and mist have only become stronger for the last time. We decided to rest a little. Our maps didn’t correspond to the reality. Everything was not quite even to say completely not as we expected. Water has finished and we melted it out of snow with the heat of our bodies. Having fallen into the snow we ate the last crumb of bread. Then we saw him. He was lost and alone in this boundless snow desert. Something united us and him. It might be no way back for both us and him. No way back. Forward. Only straight forward!
