25th of Mid Year 4E201
For the first time in many days I feel slightly safe. I've had to fight off wolves, and a few straggling thieves along the road. One of the thieves followed me, and I had to kill him to keep him from killing me. I stared at his lifeless body for what felt like days, his blood seeming to glow on the glistening snow covering the ground. I've had nightmares about it for several nights now. I keep telling myself that I had no choice, and I would be dead otherwise. Yesterday I went back, and left a nightshade flower on his chest. I keep finding it along the roads here. Its all that seems to grow in this cold. That and these small red berries. They taste alright I suppose. At least I found this little cave off of the road. I think I'll stay here for a few days, the snow is getting worse out there. I keep hearing the wolves howling out there, probably as hungry as I am.
