In the heart of a vast, polar wilderness, two silhouettes push forward against a breathtaking sunset. Sarah, navigating the deep powder on all fours despite losing her limbs to frostbite years ago, moves with the rhythmic determination of a seasoned climber. Tucked securely against her side is Abigail "Abby", who was born with tetra-amelia. Though she lacks limbs of her own, Abby's spirit is undeterred as she glides across the crusty snow, her specialized gear turning her into a human vessel of pure momentum.
Sarah: (Heaving a heavy breath) “I swear, Abby, if the wind picks up any more, I’m just going to use your puffy coat as a sail.”
Abigail: (Grinning as she slides smoothly over a drift) “Hey, don't be jealous just because I have less wind resistance! While you’re out here doing the ‘polar bear crawl,’ I’m basically a high-performance sled.”
Sarah: (Laughing, nudging Abigail with her shoulder) “A high-performance sled that I have to steer! One wrong bump and you’re going to pull a ‘Fast and Furious’ drift right into that crevasse.”
Abigail: “Please! If I start sliding too fast, just hop on my back. We’ll be at the base camp in five minutes, or we’ll become the world’s fastest human snowball. Either way, it’s a win!”
Sarah: “You’re lucky you’re so aerodynamic. Now, stop bragging and help me scout the next ridge, you adorable little toboggan.”

Abigail keeps journeying through snowy lands, this time with Sarah, who has an unfair advantage: stumps! I do like the idea she's now teased about her total lack of extremities heheh.And so starts 2026!
Thanks for thos supporting me! It really helps!
