And... and bottom-line <strong>is</strong>, we're on our own."Silence."I'm thirsty," Kip said cautiously."Lots of water out <strong>the</strong>re," John said."It's frozen.""That's ice for you."More silence.Kip eventually scrambled back up towards <strong>the</strong> opening, <strong>the</strong> frosty wind hitting him hard as he stuck h<strong>is</strong>head out and tried to scoop a handful of icy snow, h<strong>is</strong> fingers numbing with cold. He managed apa<strong>the</strong>tic few scrapings that melted on h<strong>is</strong> tongue and did little to assuage h<strong>is</strong> thirst.Kip crawled back in. "John?

John asked."No." Kip returned <strong>the</strong> lighter."So we're just going to die here," Nelson said rhetorically.Paul made several inaudible no<strong>is</strong>es from behind h<strong>is</strong> hands."Got a better idea?" John asked.**Group D: Neo, Eddie, Ke- I mean, not-Tim.

"Didn't you make it out?"Eddie nodded, eyes searching <strong>the</strong> carpet and door for a safer place to put h<strong>is</strong> gaze."What- where's everyone else?"
