I've been tossing this around in my brain a bit, made easier by my own temporary infirmities.  Inspired in part by Diaz' death scene in The Grey and a couple other films like it, and Into Thin Air.  I happen to have a friend named Nate who I pictured when I wrote this, although he lives in a comfortably warm climate and I sincerely hope he ( Read more... )

As Janus rolled up to Michael's tent he was greeted with "Oh, not you too!"  This was an uncharacteristically unfriendly greeting from his older brother, who showed not a hint of a jest in the words.
