At first, he'd been okay. Really. Bored, certainly. But he had also been tired from all the traveling. Well... All the traveling and the strain of unease from seeing all those bodies in the morgue. That hadn't been a pleasant investigation, that. He hadn't been there long, but he had certainly been there long enough, matching up names to bodies. No one he had known personally.

The house protested with creaks and sighs that more than half the time made it sound like it would give at any moment.

By then, had they looked, they would have seen that the snow had gotten to the point where it was covering the view from the windows.

But... by then, Zack hadn't been looking anymore. By then, he'd quit his squatting routine, stopped with the push-ups and planks and every other move he could think of to keep himself active to stay warm and unfocused on the fact that he felt so trapped. Now, he was in the living room leaning tightly in a corner in good view of all entrances but yet not eyeing them at all as he dug his fingers into the fabric of the coat he always wore, tighter and tighter...
