Day 205: Frostbite

The cold found Tonying before the dawn did. On Day 205, Marco wakes to a crisis that has nothing to do with the panel below The Beacon and everything to do with the wind outside it, the broken generator, and the ninety minutes Tonying spent alone at the south fence with his rosary and no gloves. Day 205 of The Long Dark. Frostbite climbs past the knuckles. A hacksaw is sharpened. The hospital memory from Day Zero returns uninvited. And the broadcast becomes a record of what it means to be a doctor in a tower that has no power and a priest who may lose the hand he makes the sign of the cross with.
