Prompt: Freezing

It was pretty harsh weather to be chopping wood, but they needed the fuel to warm the house during the unexpected spring blizzards.

Looking back, Freya was amazed she'd heard the pitiful hoot over the howling wind. Even more amazed she'd spotted the small fledgling snow owl being blown with swirls of snow into the drifts.

Bundling the little creature inside her fur coat, she promised him that she would try and help him find his family when the snow cleared. The baby owl blinked at her, slow and uneven, before giving a pleased hoot.
