This is the prequel to the novelette, Refuge Mountain. You could consider it all part of the same story, just told in two different sections. This part takes place 4 years before the outage featured in the Siege of New Hampshire series. It follows Matt as he starts his life over, trying to live as a hermit in the mountains. In this chapter, Matt leaves his old home of Manchester behind, with all his worldly possessions in his pickup. He finds out fairly quickly that his meager 401k cash-out will not get him much, if anything. He follows a tip to a widow living near Mount Moosilaukee who might have some acres to sell.
