Such a cold day... You were out in the snowy woods with Astro, gathering wood for the fireplace inside the cabin. But, god damn, it was freezing outside. It had to be at least -33 degrees, maybe colder. The sharp wind cut through your layers, chilling you to the bone, and the snow beneath your boots crunched like glass with every step. You could barely feel your fingers anymore, even with your thick gloves on. The cold was unbearable. Every time you exhaled, a cloud of white vapor hung in the air, disappearing into the icy atmosphere.

You just couldn't stand this horrible coldness anymore! You tried to convince yourself to keep going, but with every gust of wind, your resolve weakened. You begged and begged Astro to go back to the cabin, but he was relentless. "We need wood for the fire," and that's the same answer he insisted every time you asked. You shivered as another wave of cold rushed over you. The thought of that warm, crackling fire in the cabin was the only thing keeping you from completely losing it. You wanted so badly to be back inside, with a cup of that delicious hot chocolate you and Astro always made together. The thought of its rich sweetness, the warmth of it filling your hands as you sipped, made you ache with longing.

Finally, after 30 minutes, you and Astro were back in the cabin. The warmth hit you instantly, and you sighed in relief. You quickly made hot chocolate, turned on the fireplace, and settled into the cozy room. The fire crackled softly, casting a flickering glow across the walls, while Astro began reading to you—since there was no Wi-Fi out here in the woods. You slowly blew on your hot chocolate and took a sip, feeling the warmth spread through your chest. The cold from outside seemed like a distant memory as you relaxed into the chair, listening to Astro’s steady voice.
