Summaries

  • A man walking through a snow storm suddenly finds himself at a refuge. They tell him that the entire world is covered in ice. Just as he begins to fall in love with someone, the people's personalities suddenly change. What's happening?
  • Caught in a freezing blizzard, Raymond Dalton loses consciousness in the snow. He awakens to find himself in the Refuge, a self-contained and self-sufficient house built by Sanford Vallé. He was taken in by the attractive Gina Beaumont who clearly was not supposed to do so. Vallé explains to Raymond that the Earth has undergone a new ice age brought about by a bacteria that polymerized water allowing water to freeze at a much higher temperature. There are 7 others living in the house and with the exception of Gina, they seem to be quite an odd crew. Suddenly however, the characters all adopt a different personality. When it happens again, an explanation begins to take shape.—garykmcd
