A Winter Never to be Forgotten - Original Writing In the terrible winter of 2002 a young man named Mark Kyle was staying in his parents cabin on the outskirts of Detroit. Marks fiancà ©e Kortney Skelly was to follow him up a few days later. On the night Kortney was to arrive Mark decided to plan a romantic evening to surprise her. As he began to set up candles around the dining room of the cabin for Kortney's arrival he discovered that there was not enough firewood to last them throughout the night. So he put on his winter jacket, stepped out into the cold and misty night and gathered firewood from the pile which was kept at the side of the cabin. As Mark was collecting firewood he noticed Kortney's car parked about fifty yards from the cabin. As Mark approached Kortney's car he noticed footprints and what seemed to be dragging marks. Mark began to get very worried as he started to follow the prints. As Mark followed the strange tracks into the dark, misty woods even his broad, bulky physique began to fiercely tremble with the fear of what he might discover. His dog Jack ran a few meters in front of him. Mark heard the distinct barking of Jack. Mark immediately ran towards the barking to see what had disturbed him. When Mark caught up with Jack he fell to his knees at the horrific sight that lay before him. Kortneys soft complexion and fine facial features stared Mark right in the face. He instantly tried to resuscitate her but unfortunately when he put pressure on her chest blood gushed from her lips onto Marks jacket. He hysterically lifted Kortney and carried her back to the cabin. When he reached the cabin he carried her into the living room and placed her on the floor. Mark then got a blanket from one of the guest rooms and gently wrapped it around her rigid, blood covered corpse.
