He knew that this was the risk he took www.onedoor.ccwhen he left, but he also knew the lingering stares he was starting to receive told him the risk was greater to stay. Unfortunately, he could not remember if the trail went to the left or right around the mountain, and all traces of it had been lost in the whiteness.
