Draumrs Chapter - Snow



These posts are a progressive chapter from my upcoming book.  The blog is a sample site for students in Business Communication this term at Laurentian University.

Snow White

Sacha “Snow” White was breathing hard. A nagging bit of phlegm high in her throat was giving her a comical wheeze with every gasp. She concentrated on keeping her feet and arms moving, but 40 centimeters of fresh powder was making trail-breaking a tough job. A 25 degree upward slope meant walking was pretty much like climbing stairs, without the treads.  Looking back, she was a full body length above her closest client, even though she was only a few meters in front of him. No matter how she breathed, the biting cold dried out either her nose or her throat, so keeping enough of the thin air coming to her lungs was rapidly dehydrating her from the inside out. The amazing part was that enthusiasts paid thousands of dollars and traveled half way around the globe to do this.
