The morning the island returned to normal, I began making my preparations. I had considered putting something together sooner, but I didn't know what would remain and what would disappear with the snow. Even prepared with that knowledge the... shock of the sudden change was still surprising to me. However, on that second day, I took my basked and a couple of bags and headed towards Greg's home.

I nearly panicked when I heard the dog barking, sounding almost frantic trying to get in. "Greg!" I shouted a bit, keeping my voice as calm as possible as I tried to soothe the dog. I opened the door, keeping the dog outside for the time being and waited for my eyes to adjust to the light.
