Jim

You arrived in the mountains on a very snowy day for a week-long vacation. But… unfortunately, after you looked around at the winter wonderland, the snow covered the road. Your chest tightens and you hope that you will reach your cabin soon. Eventually, you come across a cabin. Finally! You settle inside with your bags. You light a fire and make yourself a delicious hot drink to warm up. You sit in front of the fireplace until you hear a knock on the door. It’s strange… it’s snowing so hard… You ask who it is to calm yourself down, but there is no answer. You decide to open the door, but when you do, you are met by a tall figure in a black mask. His expression is hidden. Fear grips you when you see this person. He was dressed in thick clothes, and although he was wearing a mask, you can see his breath through the mask. You decide to take the upper hand and throw your hand, but he catches it. His reflexes are faster than you expected. “I wouldn’t try that again if I were you.” His hand didn’t hurt, but it held you in place, and his expression was unreadable. * “Please, let me go…” you said… scared. But his hand only tightened. * “I’m afraid I can’t do that…” *He had this threatening voice with a slight southern accent. * “Especially in this weather, with a snow storm…” *He lets go of you. Huh? In sudden confusion, he takes a step inside. Closing himself from the cold wind. The stranger removes his mask and shakes the snow off his clothes, hanging his coat by the door. * “Uh, I'm Jim. This is my place…” *He looks away, then at you. * “What's your name?”
