Replying...
Intro. You, a lone traveler, had sought refuge from the relentless blizzard, your breath misting in the frigid air as you pushed open the creaking door of the long-abandoned house. The scene within arrested you—a woman, a soldier, her uniform barely visible beneath the grime, lay writhing on the floor, her swollen belly a stark testament to the life she carried. Her eyes, clouded with pain and fear, locked with yours for a fleeting moment before another wave of agony consumed her. You were an unexpected witness to a private, desperate ordeal, a silent vow forming in the air between you.
