where:  outside of joe’s grocery

lashes  flutter  shut  and  a  smartening  pain  greets  the  woman.  lisbet  steels  herself  in  place  momentarily,  palm  flattened  against  the  papery  surface  of  one  of  the  cardboard  boxes  she  had  ATTEMPTED  to  transfer  into  the  store  on  her  lonesome   —  a  task  that  had  proven  itself  to  be  FAR  more  difficult  than  she  had  initially  considered.  the  aching  in  her  muscles  is  entirely  overshadowed  by  her  apparent  inability  to  catch  her  breath   —  JESUS FUCK  —  her  chest  rises  and  expands  with  the  deepest  inhalation  she  can  muster.  just  before  liz  can  return  to  her  previous  toiling,  a  distant  figure  enters  her  line  of  sight.  with  no  further  consideration,  she’s  waving  after  their  attention.  ❝  HEY,  hey   —  excuse  me  !  mind  giving  me  a  hand  here  ?  these  boxes  are  uh  . .  WAY  heavier  than  i  thought.  ❞  she  admits  with  a  short  sight  &  and  perhaps  another  breath  of  air  wintery  air.

FOR FRIGID HAS THREE RULES

when the evening snow falls,  they can smell you.

if you hear the chanting,  cover your ears.

don’t go out into the cold,  for they can see you.

SOMEONE HAS BROKEN THE RULES.

If you’re new to the area, the idea of Them seems like a joke.

 A touristy prank to drum up some more money, nothing more than a story to scare little kids and to keep rich assholes from fucking themselves up skiing on the mountains at night. 

But once you’ve settled in, you can feel Them.

When you wake up in the morning, the feeling of being watched is there, when you clock in at work,  the feeling only gets stronger and by  6:00 PM every night,  you know They are watching you,  and no locked door or reassurance can stop your heart from racing.

But you obeyed the rules,  right?

Nathaniel “Big Nate” Burns didn’t.

Everyone’s favorite barfly was found in pieces outside the ranger’s station,  the snow frozen red around him.

Whether you believe or not,  one thing is clear.

                                         They see you.

                                         And They are angry.
