Why I love being a writer

[rachelmanija]

I just emailed a friend this question in complete seriousness:

How many miles do you think is vaguely plausible for people to think they can walk in a blizzard if they have supernatural resiliency and can also turn into snow leopards?

For the injured guy to walk (it is walk, and not twelve miles of bridal carry?), it's an odd mix of perceived urgency and not being badly damaged enough that it isn't possible to walk.

I might be going after why they think it's a good idea more than the raw distance; "I might have six hours before my infected wound goes systemic and there's this place which should have antibiotics four hours away..." sorts of logic.
