He’d been hiking during the winter and hadn’t expected a blizzard that day. He was dressed warmly but not warm enough for the coming storm. When he saw the first signs of it, snow falling fast on the trail and in the pine trees, he turned around to trek back to his car five miles away while the snow storm became more menacing and it got harder to see in front of him. The snow piled up on the ground fast and accumulated over and into his hiking boots. The temperature dropped, his socks were wet. and he began to freeze. He worried about his feet getting frostbitten or freezing to death.
He had trouble walking in the deep snow and the drifts until the snow became so deep he struggled to get through it. He tried to continue on, but he fell in the snow and attempted to get up and fell in the snow again exhausted.
Through the increasing blizzard he spied a large dark form lumbering toward him. Frightened, he scrambled to get up and run but fell again. As the form drew nearer, he began to tremble in horror when he saw an apelike animal and realized it was the cryptid known as Bigfoot. When the terrifying creature stood face to face with him, he screamed and passed out from fright and exhaustion. Awhile later, he woke up and was sitting in his car with the heater on and Bigfoot had vanished.
