This is⦠this is the old way.
Luke stared.
Old way to what?
Tessa didn't answer.
She stepped into the tunnel.
We followed because what else do you do when the forest closes behind you?
The tunnel was claustrophobic.
Branches scraped our packs.
Leaves brushed our faces.
The ground was uneven, roots and mud.
The air was cooler, still.
After maybe ten minutes, it opened into a hollow.
And I swear to youβ¦
It was like stepping into a place that shouldn't exist.
The trees here were older, thicker.
The light was dim even though it was midday.
The hollow was shaped like a bowl, steep sides, with a creek running through the middle.
And there were signs of people,
Old signs and new.
A rotting cabin, half-collapsed, leaning like a drunk.
