  The Score 
   
  Setting in brief 
   
  Snow. Neck deep and everywhere. Far as the eye can see. It doesn't 
  look to be letting up any time soon and here you are in the middle 
  of it, stuck, countless miles from where you want to be and going 
  nowhere fast. You were fortunate enough to find shelter from the 
  blizzard in a backwoods bus depot.  Unfortunately, now you find 
  yourself caught in an interstitial moment, caught on the threshold 
  between a past you're trying to get away from and the future you 
  so desperately hope to achieve.  What happens to you during these 
  trapped moments, as the time ticks away like snowflakes caught in 
  a storm?
