Getting stuck in a blizzard in the middle of nowhere is not what you plan to do when you want to go to a rural area to visit your grandparents.
Your Jeep is stuck in a snowdrift beside the road, you get out to check on it and dig through the piles piled up underneath the car and on the tires.
It's freezing outside, of course. You try to find something that can help you dig the snow - perhaps a big branch can help (since you don't have any equipment to dig through the snow).
You start looking for the branch around the tree line beside the road, wandering a bit into the woods to get it.
Then something made you pause, it sounded like heavy footsteps on the snowy ground. You stop in your tracks and look at your surroundings, the footsteps stop for a moment. As if doing the same thing.
Looking back in front of you, you froze in place, in front of you - a few feet away was a black hooded figure standing facing you. The figure just stood there - staring at you under the hood that hides all his face. It's like staring directly into the void.
