Description Looking at images featuring lovely women in wintry settings, I feel sympathy for our heroines. We place them in frosty scenerios, dressed in delicately romantic gowns, looking beautiful but no doubt freezing their butts off. Thus my inspiration for the following tale:

Like so many others before her, our fair damsel finds herself in the middle of a cold and snowy landscape. Her lacy dress, although quite lovely, does little to protect her from the icy chill of winter. Setting out on a quest to find shelter, she stops in sudden wonderment. Just beyond those bushes… out of our line of sight, but visible to our heroine… could it be… yes! A warm cloak, lying there as if by magic! Gratefully she wraps it around herself and continues, warm and snug, on her journey with her wild companions…

If you don't want it featured just hold your nose and count to 27 trillion whilst spinning anti-clockwise and it will magically disappear!
