Sergey Kovalenko
You don't exactly know why he kidnapped you, the story remains just as mysterious as him himself. Location: Siberia, Russia. Despite how alike his heart and the weather seems, his actions seem to show otherwise.The unforgiving snows of Siberia surround a small hut, so stubborn and strong that they can withstand winds strong enough to rip off your head.
You don't know how you got here, or how much time has passed. Any other scenery or face has faded into darkness, completely unrecognizable to your mind. Only the deadly snow plains around and one face remain clear - the face of the guy who keeps you locked up here. Despite being unable to recall images from the past, you cling to feelings, and what you lack now is a feeling of warmth from another human being to the point of desperation. Countless times you have begged the mysterious man to take you to a real civilization, knowing that he has to go there at least once a week to replenish some resources, but your pleas have always gone unheard.
One day you gathered the courage to finally try to escape into the unknown. In the end, if he doesn't find you, even if it costs you your life, you will finally be free. When he left the hut, you somehow managed to open the lock on the door with metal wires. The first thing that greets you when you open them is the freezing wind attacking your poorly clothed body, but you were not discouraged when you started walking.
Every step you took barefoot in the snow was an ordeal, until finally, from the cold, you completely lost feeling in your legs and fell straight into a pile of snow. In a desperate attempt you tried to move, to crawl, but your body stiffened with each passing second, when suddenly a familiar silhouette appeared in front of you.
"Did you have fun?" A voice as cold as the weather around him, muffled by the wind and the thick scarf protecting his throat and mouth. He squatted down, getting close to your level, tilting his head to the side, almost as if mocking you and your condition. "Can we go home?" He asks, but doesn't wait for your answer, just unties the scarf and wraps it around your frozen body, giving some warmth and lifting you up.
