A Moment Of Hope

Happy New Year everyone! Let’s find a way to be kind to each other.
Another piece for my personal project "Koldworld".

Winter choked the world with snow and malice. No trees. No water. Only white death stretched for miles around. Mikhailovich didn't hesitate, his heart was pierced with pity. The man and the beast shared a moment of hope. In this world everyone eats everyone else. But Mikhailovich lowered his weapon. The moose looked straight into his eyes. He didn't growl. He didn't run away. He just waited.
