Cottage hideaway: it’s been a long time

The road to my family’s cottage was all way a mess but this year it was hell I bumped the bounced my way down the 20 miles of dirt road pulled up to the side of the cottage and got out looking about all the memories came rushing back the good and the bad playing on the lake with my sister and brother braking my arm in a fall out of a tree that my dad promptly cut down not that that helped stop me from climbing trees it just meant I had to walk in to the forest to find a tree to climb both my mom and dad did not like this they said what if you get lost or even wears a wild animal or feral finds you you could be killed and what then the thought of the being so freaked out about me going 10 feet out of sight as a kid made me chuckle I then grabbed my stuff and started to bring it in side I had brought sufficient food and clothes for the summer or at least at least the three weeks of summer I would be up here I also brought my laptop and my bow and I’m a good number a arrows I was a good shot with it to and cause my mom was totally scarred out of here mind that here sun was staying in the big scary woods she made me take my dad’s hand gun my dad was less concerned and know that I had made up my mind to go with or without anyone else but everyone else was work school or other plans set in motion so I when alone to the cottage on the lake trustfully I was glad to be the only one it had been 4 years… no 5 it had been 5 years sins I had been here last just after graduation from high school but then three years ago every think just seemed to start going downhill and now I just need a break so I came to the one place where there is no one else to bother me out here all alone in a three story cottage 4 if you add the basement it looked over the lake at the snow covered mountains on the other side of the lake it is a 2 hour drive to the story and to get the TV and net out here my dad installed a satellite dish so he could watch his sports I loathed them so or… never mind at least it gave me a way to show them I was ok so they wouldn’t panic and send the Sheriff to check on me or something like that after having brought everything inside I went to grab the hidden key we kept out side in a big rock under a large rose bosh after being stabbed by the rose’s thorns 8 or so times I got the key and started back towered the cottage but as I did so I heard a scuffling of paws looking about to see what it was seeing nothing and thinking a Squirrel or rabbit I start back inside I then started up the power my dad might be a dig shot but he shire knows electricity like the back of his paw or should a say hand he wouldn’t like me using such grotesqueries then I then I pot what small amount of food that might need to be kept cold in the fridge and the rest the pantry I then hooked up my Lapy… my laptop to the net in the house and sent my mom a picture and a message saying a was ok then turning off Lapy I started the task of polling off the dust covers off all the stuff I thought a might use when here the last place to be uncovered was the study and in one of the chairs was a book it was the hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle I looked at the time it was half past 8 at this time and I thought ok a book and then sleep and a good start in the morning so I grabbed the book and headed to my room there I sat on the bed the red the book it was not a big book so I was able a read the whole thing in about a hour after word I went to sleep in retrospect reading this book right be for going to sleep not a good idea… in the middle of the night a woke up and got up to get a drink a water going to the sink a turned it on but there was nothing right well water don’t stern on the wheal you don’t get water which meant I had to go outside this was frustrating but it had to be done so I went downstairs and got I’m sandals on and went outside to turn on the well water the pomp was on the far north side of the cottage and being up in the mountains on the side of a lake meant that the place rocky but this side was the worst side to be on as a exited the cottage it was so bright that a looked up to see the phase of the moon the full and a red hunters moon at that it was a bit unsettling after having just read the hound of the Baskervilles so I started around the north side of the cottage from there I could see the pomp but not where to turn it on looking for where to turn it on as approached but I did not see it till there was a way to turn it on right a so I looked in over and found it it was back in the wall about 6 inches at about knee high off the grown goo what a dump place to pot it so I kneeled down and reach back in to start turn it on but as a was in this most vulnerable of poses a howl rang out and I jumped 15 feet in the air run back in to the safety of the cottage I thought my heart was going to pop on the spot that or my lungs when I clammed down I noticed one of me sandals where gone dang it I need to go get that for the next 5 minutes I quarreled with myself the argument when a such dud you’re a wolf a guy get your sorry ass back out there I’m a string been and a slow pock you’re the apex predator get out there and kill whatever the heck it is no I’m not going to kill anything if I don’t need to… unless I’m going to eat it the I had all most go up the guts to go out a get my one sandal when another howl rang out but this time it was very close my heart stopped and so did the debate as to whether or not I would go out and get my sandal I turned a little shakily and locked the door the last think to go throw my mind as I started was some dig strong man you are at this I smiled what would my dad say to me now be a man sun or maybe suck it up and get out there well I never did make the cut as I went back to bed the howl came again but this time that it sounded like a wolf the thought brought to mind a large park fearsome beasts who show no mercy to an interloping anthro whether or not he was a wolf I laid down in bed and lessened to the howls the howl then a pause then the eco off the mountains the howl the eco the howl the eco I stat up stray as board in bed and lessened my ears pointed at the window howl and eco then I got up and open the and lessened howl nothing eco still nothing there is only one is a lone wolf at this I closed the wind and tried to cover I’m ears but it was no use so a gat up and grabbed some sleep add stuff out of the cabinet in the bathroom took a pill and went back to bed I fell sleep with the wolfs howls still ringing in my ears the wolf run in and out throw my dreams that night and I woke with a start after having a nightmare of being turn into the wolf thrown in to a cage there to be left forever it as light out now and I got up then looked at the time 12 well that was a kick in the junk so I went out got my sandal the turned on the water went back inside and started making something to eat the dreams form the night be for where still running back and forth in my head the next 2 week had me fishing reading and writing stuff on Lapy I kept my mom and dad more or least informed about what was going on all though I failed to say anything about the wolf that howled on a nightly bases the bay before had to head back to the big city and all the crap of the pack… there I go again using such beastly works hu whatever as the sun was going down out a sight I was on the dock looking over the lake thinking I was going to miss this place when a saw something white moving along the edge of the lake then I went inside and out on to the second floor porch and watched for their till it disappeared into the woods the next day I left I wouldn’t be back till next summer
