Alexis trudged outside in the snow, her boots scraping up a mound of snow. Her breath came in white fog clouds which billowed in the air before settling down on the layer of the cold atmosphere.  She was dragging a white horse, speckled with brown sluglike snow behind her.  The reins were cutting into her palms as she shivered.  It was cold out here and she didn't know where she was.   Her horse huffed and she turned around.
"Lamma, just a bit more.  I'll find you water and everything else that you need." She reached the door of the tavern and knocked on the door softly.
"IS ANYONE IN HERE?" She called through the door.
