The Colony 7

Matthew and the young man who lived in Alo's cottage worked together to repair the front of the lodge. The front door of Alo's hut was shattered, and some of the wooden walls were cracked as Alo pushed Matthew's body out of the cabin.

"We should be hunting tonight," said one of the young men helping out, glancing at Matthew.

"You don't have to grumble here, Collin. Just see Alo if you don't mind helping," said Freddie.

Collin snorted softly while still hammering the wood that would be used as a substitute for the front door of Alo's hut. Meanwhile, Freddie turned to Matthew, sawing wood to make window frames. He laughed softly at the awkward way Matthew sawed the wood.

"You never seem to do a manual job like this," Freddie said to Matthew.

Matthew laughed softly. "I just woke up after sleeping for twenty years. What do you expect from a sleeping beauty like me? I didn't even know I was asleep that long."
