Alone in the snow-covered mountains, the man fought the biting wind with determination. With numb fingers, he began building a stone shelter for survival. Gathering flat rocks from the frosty ground, he stacked them in a low, circular wall, sealing gaps with mud and moss. He crafted a roof from spruce branches and packed snow, creating insulation against the freezing nights. Inside, he laid pine boughs for bedding and left a small vent for his tiny fire. As blizzards raged outside, the stone shelter held firm—warm, sturdy, and silent. In the heart of the wilderness, he found safety not in comfort, but in resilience, one stone at a time.
