Against The Odds

CHAPTER

Introduction

Black jack has been alone on wrangell island for a little over a week. She's had good luck shooting birds, but to day, she has her sights in on a bigger prize. This seal its a more efficient use of her limited amam the seal will provide much more meat as well as blubber she can use to light her lanterns and skin she can turn into clothes. But seals are tricky to hunt. They're suspicious animals. And most of them say out on the sea ice, too far for black jack to reach them without a boat. If she's not rescued before the ocean freezes over, she'll be stuck on brangle island for another nine months.
