Within minutes, opaque layers of ice glazed the windows. Her breath quickened. Would anyone see the car? Was it ice covered? What if they didn't see her, hit her, set her over the edge? Please God, send somebody to find me. She turned the headlights on hoping it would make the vehicle more visible.

"Are you the driver?" she called out.
"I'm a musher."
Candace stepped back warily. Had she heard right? The high altitude must be affecting her ears. Had he said he was a masher? Was she going to be ravished out in the middle of nowhere with no one else in sight?
