Prompt: 004. spring<\/h1>\n

1. It was a relief when the spring frost began. They’d been close to running out of nearly everything.<\/h2>\n

A. It was a relief when the spring frost began. They’d been close to running out of nearly everything.<\/p>\n

Once the river melted, it was a rush to finish building the boat and gather enough food to see them out of the Wild Lands. If they were lucky they could reach civilization within a few months. If they were unlucky they would die. They didn’t have a choice either way.<\/p>\n

A. The Lady of Spring woke with a yawn and sat up to face her Season, when she would rule over the land and her brothers and sister would sleep.<\/p>\n
