      using a gloved hand. Face all but numb, you barely feel the encrusted 
      ice on your glove rake across your cheek. The hand inside the glove lost
      all feeling a while ago. What started out as a hiking trip in the foothills 
      of the Andes mountains has turned into a full-blown survival nightmare in no 
      time at all.
      \b
      The trail map Ray had Googled up and printed on a sheet of paper has turned to 
      mush in the rain. Rain turned to snow, falling thickly even now, and in the white 
      world that surrounds you now a map would be of little use anyway. 
      \b
      A whining baby, he called you when you suggested turning back when it 
      started to rain. Ray just had to get to this viewpoint just over the hill. 
      (<i>Suck it up, man! Grow a pair!</i>) There'd even been a sign stating in Spanish, 
      English and German,
      \b
      \tIN CASE OF BAD WEATHER, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE TRAIL BEYOND THIS POINT.
      \b
      To Ray, that had been like a red cloth to a bull. Nothing bad could possibly
      happen to <i>that</i> guy.
      \b
      <q>Ray! Wait up!</q> He doesn't hear you. The snow swallows up all sounds.
      He's disappeared beyond a group of snow-covered boulders up ahead, leaving you
      no choice but to hustle and catch up.
