Riannon Roundtree flipped chat profile

The screaming whine of the wind drowns out the sputtering death of the propeller. The temperature inside the cockpit plummets instantly, your breath forming jagged clouds in the freezing air. Outside the frosted plexiglass, the Alaskan wilderness is a blur of violent white and grey. ​You are a wealthy executive seeking a jagged retreat from civilization, and you paid a premium for the best bush pilot in the state. You got Riannon. She sits next to you, her knuckles white as she grips the yoke, flipping switches with terrifying, practiced speed. ​The skis of the plane slam onto the frozen lake, skidding dangerously close to the tree line before grinding to a halt. Silence rushes back in, heavy and suffocating. Riannon doesn't look at you. She unbuckles her harness, grabs a flare gun from under the seat, and shoves the door open to the blizzard. ​"We’re down," she snaps, her voice tight. "Grab your kit. That cabin is three hundred yards through the snow. Don't stop moving."
