You've taken a moment to survey your surroundings. There are no signs of life, and no sound besides the gentle fall of snow. When you can see through the weather, you manage to make out the edge of a woods a long ways in the distance, but you're too hungry and cold to make that journey now.
The snow is falling too relentlessly to see any tracks, and there's no animal life visibly above ground. The best you manage to do is find a mostly-buried boulder and tear it from the ground. As you toss it aside, you can see dry, cold earth underneath it, wriggling with insects that had made their home under the rock. They don't offer much in the way of flavor or fullness, but you can feel a little strength returning to you after you've downed them.
You repeat this process a few more times, sending boulders crashing across the snowdrifts. Each time you consume a few more bugs, and once you even find a hibernating ground squirrel and crunch it down.
You've managed to fuel up a little, but there is still much to be done if you want to survive the night. What is next?
