Despite the pain and discomfort, you continue to push forward. You are determined to see this journey through to the end, no matter what obstacles you face. You hobble on your candy cane legs, trying to ignore the cold that is seeping into your bones.
As you go deeper into the tunnel, the air grows colder and colder. You can see your breath condensing in front of you, and your fingers and toes are starting to go numb. You are starting to feel like you might not make it much further when you suddenly see a faint glow in the distance. It looks like a warm and welcoming light, and you feel a surge of hope as you make your way towards it.
But as you get closer, you realize that the light is coming from a strange, frozen shape. It looks like a human figure, but it is made entirely of candy cane. You recognize your own clothes and gear, and you realize with a start that the figure is you. You have been frozen into a candy cane shaped like a human, and this is the end of your journey.
