Louise takes out her binoculars and studies the face of the huge snowcapped peak outside her cabin. She spies a black dot that seems to move. Sure enough it turns out to be a person. Her parents have gone to the Ice Station to study glaciers. She is keeping house. But why is the person descending the mountain and coming closer?
She phones the Ice Station and they tell her to get out of there. They hang up right away. Do they know something she doesn’t? How is she going to survive hundreds of miles from civilization all by herself with only her Labrador Retriever and her cat to help her?
Louise had better figure out what to do soon. Whoever it is is coming closer by the minute.
