It’s always snowing. It will never not be snowing. It snows and snows and snows, yet the drifts never gets any taller.
The sun won’t rise for three months. It won’t ever rise again. Your life now exists in darkness.
You’re not allowed to die there because you’ll never decay. But people are already decaying.
Respect the polar bears. They were here first. What do we do about the polar bear within us all?
The Northern Lights brighten the night sky in the dark winter, but they will never brighten your soul.
Everything is frozen, just like I am frozen by my thoughts.
The Permafrost never forgets. It won’t let you forget either. Soon it will make you remember.
The cold bites at those exposed to it for too long. Bite back. Always bite back.
Everything is covered in white. Why is no one wearing sunglasses?
