Échantillon de lecture

Snow crunches underfoot as I take a step forward, disorientated, the ground sloping upwards to greet me. Moments ago I was sitting in the cinema with my friends, waiting for the movie to start. And now I'm here. Wherever here is.
I lift my hands in front of my face, the padded gloves that I'm wearing the same colour as the snow. I wasn't wearing these before. As the wind whips towards me, I catch a glimpse of fur at the edge of my vision and reach up to feel the shape of a hood. I glance down at the rest of my clothes: snow boots, ski trousers, arctic parka, zipped all the way to my chin. Everything that I'm wearing is the same ghostly shade, making me part of the whiteout. Suddenly, I feel very cold.
Panicking, I look around, but the desolate landscape looks the same in every direction. No landmarks, no shadows and no sign of anybody else. It's like the world has been erased.
"Ash! Finn! Maya! Caitlin!"
I call out for my friends, pausing after each shout as I anxiously wait for a reply. But the only sound I hear is a mocking echo, whispering their names on the wind.
This doesn't make any sense. Whatever brought me here took them too, the jet-black tidal wave crashing through the cinema and swallowing us whole. But it looks like I'm all alone.
