1. Describe\u00a0your main story line<\/strong><\/p>\n

Father son duo lost skiing in the Catalan Pyrenees mountains while on vacation in Barcelona.\u00a0Retired Veteran Tom Hunter and his son Kevin had decided to take a daylong ski trip. An accomplished skier, Tom had decided to take his younger son, Kevin, up for one more run. For some reason, they took the wrong trail and discovered they were soon lost and the sun was going down. After hours of trekking what seemed to be nowhere Tom came to the conclusion they would be spending the night. They\u00a0didn\u2019t really have anything other than what the normal skier would have. Tom\u00a0had no matches or anything. They \u00a0had no survival equipment really to speak of\u00a0they\u00a0just had the clothes on their\u00a0backs and about five pieces of hard candy in my pocket. Shelter was Tom’s first mission and before long he discovered a small cave.\u00a0It was a godsend against the chilling wind and Tom and his son spend their days in that cave as the snowstorm went on for three solid days. As Tom and Kevin huddled together, their main concern was keeping as warm and as dry as possible. Toms army survival training had kicked in that first day. They huddled together to stay warm and could only sleep in short spurts, but Tom believed these things would come them alive, then there was water. Tom knew that eating snow will drop your body temperature and luckily right by their cave there was a stream.\u00a0Tom knew they\u00a0were going to stay put,\u00a0so he took Kevin’s\u00a0ski boots and filled them\u00a0up with water at the stream. Our ski poles were aluminum so Tom\u00a0broke those and made a sipping tube for him to drink out of that boot.\u00a0Tom and his son Kevin, had already survived for days in frigid temperatures without fire or food. That\u2019s when Mike began to write what he believed would be his last words to his wife and other family members.\u00a0During their days on the mountain, search helicopters passed over several times, but they never saw Tom\u00a0and his son. In fact, a massive ground and air search was underway \u2014 hundreds of troops and volunteers fanned out in an effort to find them. Eventually, they called off the search, thinking they would only find Tom\u00a0and Kevin\u00a0in the spring.<\/p>\n

On the 8th day, they had ‘gone missing.’ Tom\u00a0climbed to the top of a plateau near their cave. That\u2019s when he saw some snowmobiles\u00a0further down a logging road in the distance. Facing the most difficult decision of their ordeal, Mike decided to leave Matt behind and try to reach the\u00a0snowmobilers.\u00a0After more than a week without food, Tom\u00a0was too weak to get back to Kevin. As he waited with the riders\u00a0for another day, help came in the form of a busload of French\u00a0lumberjacks, who, by God\u2019s providence, just happened to be coming to those woods\u00a0to gather wood. When they saw Tom\u00a0at the cabin, they knew from the newspapers exactly who he was. Mike soon sent them to see if his son was still alive.<\/p>\n

2. Describe your main character as well as her\/his desire, background, obstacles and character flaw(s) that work against achieving her\/his desire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tom had always been an honest man his whole life, family always came first in his eyes and the safety of the ones he loved and you could always see that through Tom’s actions. He was in the Marines his whole life so survival certainly was not unfamiliar, however in these circumstances, it wouldn’t be easy. He desires nothing more than getting his son to safety and if his own life can be saved in the process that would be amazing to.<\/p>\n

3. Describe some possible scenes\/actions that will challenge your protagonist<\/strong><\/p>\n

The protagonist in the story would probably be mother nature and her wrath of cold and snow she is putting on Tom and his son. Tom’s skill however will be the actions that will challenge mother nature as Tom has been lost before through his experience in the army and he knows how to handle himself and his son in certain positions that they are in.<\/p>\n

4. Describe the format\/technology you will use to render the story<\/strong><\/p>\n

I plan to use twine to tell my story because it is a great way to include both text and pictures for the reader, and I believe that pictures will really enhance my story and give the reader a more vivid idea of the situation Tom and his son are in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
