There were few things in life anymore that Sigyn could really say she enjoyed. Her life has changed so much in the past few years, her attention focused on so many different things that she had lost sight of what was truly important to her. But no matter what happened to her, she would always savor the feeling of the snow crunching under her boots as she walked down the road to the market.

Fresh snow had fallen overnight, and a blanket of white covered the ground, the cars motoring slowly down the street. Holding her basket close, she waited on the sidewalk for the light to change. On a day like today, it didn't take long for others to join her on her corner, some puffing breath into their cupped hands to try to warm them, others sipping steaming mugs of coffee on their way to work. The light turned green and the group started over together, many keeping their eyes on the incoming traffic, just in case someone got stupid.

The majority of people made it to the other curb just fine, but those in the back of the group began to slip, the footsteps in front of them revealing ice. Sigyn was paying more attention to the cars slowly rolling to a stop than where she was stepping. She was a mere foot away from stepping onto the sidewalk when she hit the patch of ice, her feet slipping out from underneath her.
