A brutal winter storm swept across the wilderness.<\/p>\n
Snow whipped through the pine trees.<\/p>\n
Ice covered the frozen lake.<\/p>\n
A young woman hiking with a rescue team suddenly stopped.<\/p>\n
Something was moving out on the thin ice.<\/p>\n
It was a wolf.<\/p>\n
Alone.<\/p>\n
Shivering.<\/p>\n
Terrified.<\/p>\n
