At twilight Renni trekked away from her mountain cottage, up into the snowy forest. She didn't plod along in floaties. She was wearing her new Trekking snow shoes. They had a tapered tail which made for a speedier, more aerobic walk. They weren't super attractive, but not everything needed to be cute, as long as it worked. She smiled hugely behind her scarf until her teeth started to freeze. Then she shivered and picked up the pace.
A few minutes later she reached a steep incline. But she breathed deeply and kept moving. After a couple of minutes she reached a wall and a ledge. The path was only twice as wide as she was when facing forward but that was plenty. However, she hugged the wall and went slowly anyway.
It took her around and up the side of the mountain, Eastward. Then it led onto a kind of Pride Rock. Renni would've loved it if it jutted straight out at the horizon but although it didn't, it was still the perfect place to sit sideways and watch the sun rise. She made her way to a cluster of boulders, sat snugly between them like she always did, and readied herself for a little breakfast picnic. Coffee from an insulated mug and still warmed honey berry porridge.
Below her was laid out the sleeping city of Deerling and as the sun rose over it, Renni's heart swelled with pride. Was there a better place in the world to live? She could never leave the mountains!
