Rusted metal sheets.
An old truck frame sunk into the mud.
And more unsettling, fresh things.
A stack of cut firewood under a tarp.
A line of snares hanging from a branch.
A faint smell of smoke that was too recent to ignore.
Luke whispered, "'What is this?'
Tessa's face had gone pale.
"'This is where folks used to live,' she said, voice tight."
Back before the park lines and the trails and all that, some of them didn't leave.
Luke looked around, uneasy now.
So people live here, now?
Tessa's eyes tracked to the cabin, to the tarps, to the snares.
Somebody does, she said.
And then, from somewhere in the trees above us, a whistle sounded.
Two notes.
Tessa's head snapped up.
Luke's hand went instinctively to the messenger.
I felt the hair on my arms lift, and in that hollow, with the steep sides and the sound bouncing, I realized something that made my stomach drop.
We hadn't found this place.
