The cabin sat on the edge of the winter-frosted forest. Lina stood looking inside, her eyes tracing the soft tufts of snow that fell through the branches like some kind of heaven-sent miracle. But how could that be? Angels didn’t exist, and humans were demons in the flesh.

But she closed her eyes and felt her heart thrum inside her chest. It told her she was alive, that she would be alive, that she would live on no matter what the cards held for her.

Even if love wasn’t waiting for her in some form, she would live.

This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “evermore” from Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver.
