A short story where a young soldier has to choose between his friendship and his passion during a battle in winter.

The fame and success are too much but when does that become minimal to the falling out of reach of life itself? To travel through time would be a gift to anyone. Not to the big man, the boss of gift-giving. Some might call him the best saint nick they've ever had. What does one do when all that comes crashing to a halt because the Grim Reaper is knocking at your door? Just when Nick Sandrovault thinks he's finally has life all figured out he is in for a rude awakening and discovers the most powerful gift of all. It is more than just being kind and helping others that makes the heart burn with compassion for humanity. The adventure of falling in love in the strangest of ways can change a man in more ways than one and this rollercoaster has only begun. Everything that goes up must come down.

Evelyn awakens in a stark, modern room with no memory of how she arrived. As she navigates the clinical, unsettling environment, she uncovers disturbing clues—a picture frame with no photograph, cryptic messages, and fragmented memories that hint at a larger conspiracy. Initially believing someone she trusts might be manipulating her, Evelyn's paranoia deepens as the room’s features subtly change and new, troubling clues appear.
