Winter's Thief
A nimble thief descends from the sky, breaking free of its confinement. It steals away the sound as it falls to the ground. It restrains any noise, holding it hostage between the infinitesimal flakes that form a white blanket laid gently across every surface. A clever coating that muffles and mutes the world.
