A cord of wood was stacked neatly nearby. A small shed was tucked among the trees, nicely hidden so as to not disrupt the sense of wilderness. Next to the shed was a path.

“Welcome to the great outdoors, Jeff-ee,” Todd said, accentuating the pronunciation of the name as he laughed along with the others.
