"You're a yeti, right?"

The creature nodded. So he did understand me after all! I sighed in relief, was he able to talk? Judging from his lack of prior speech and heavy reliance on non-verbal communication, I guessed not. The snowstorm outside didn't seem to be letting up anytime soon.

"Guess we'll be stuck in here for a long time?"

The yeti nodded and held up one finger.

What was that?

"One... hour?" I hoped.

He shook his head.

"Shit, one week?" I didn't want to see him nod.

He shook his head again.

"Don't tell me it's more than that."

He shook his head yet again. Man, I was terrible at guessing.

"One... day?"

The yeti smiled, nodding at last. Damn, it still was a long time. But from the looks of how unconscious Stefan was, I guess I wouldn't be going anywhere anyway.

Trapped in a small cave with my resting pack pal and a yeti hiding from the deadly snowstorm outside, how much more wonderful can life be?

I slunk to my knees by the fire, resigned to a day of boredom and wasted time.

"Hey Yeti, do ya have anything to do around here -"

My eyes widened at the yeti's manhood. It stood ten inches tall, proud and dangerously erect. The yeti blushed red in embarrassment. How cute! Perhaps he was in heat and couldn't control itself?

I don't know why, but I felt a pang of sympathy for his uncontrollable urges. There probably weren't many female yetis out there in the blistering cold either. This sympathy combined with boredom and gratitude for being saved lead to an idea.

A very naughty idea.
