Chapter Text
The sound of strong howling wind outside of the window and the crackling of a fire is heard as you read a book about the time before the changes started. The normal happy times. When someone bundled up in white clothes bursts in letting the cold and snow inside.
“I got us some food for the next few weeks dear”
He said as you look up at him.
“That’s good honey. It’s gotten bad outside, I was starting to worry that you got lost”
He puts the food away and chuckles.
“It’s not that bad out. Remember the winter of 2025? Now that was bad. Couldn’t even start a fire for 3 days.”
He sits down next to you.
“Oh yeah that’s right. We almost died.”
You guys eat and talk more and then go to bed. In the morning the snow has stopped and it’s sunny outside so you go out with a coffee. In the distance you see a large dark figure in the woods. Curious you go out and investigate. You find a man unconscious in the snow and his tracks coming from the clearing a few feet away, you check him out and your husband comes out.
“Honey this man is injured and needs our help”
He comes over and helps you take the strange man inside.
“I’ll get the med kit, I just hope he isn’t infected. Those people can be dangerous.”
He goes and gets the kit just as the guy wakes up
“Where am I?”
“You are in Siberia and in my house”
“Oh...”
Your husband comes back and you help the guy
“So sir. Where did you come from?”
“I was on the international space station for the last 15 years”
“Oh so you don’t know about the changes?”
