“Google maps says we're only a few minutes away! Isn't this exciting?” Josh exclaims trying to shake his wife out of her drowsiness.
“Yea yea honey that's wonderful, can i please just finish my nap?”
“See I would let you, but we're pulling into the driveway now.”
The couple pulls into a snow covered driveway towards a nice mid sized log cabin. They start beginning their belongings and move them into the master bedroom.
“Josh, I'm getting kind of cold, can we start the heater?”
“Yes of course my love, I'll get on it. I can't take you seriously in that big puffy jacket of yours.” Walking down the wooden stares Josh throws some wood into the furnace immediately heating up the place.
“Hey babe, i think we're going to need more wood, the last guys to stay here left us nothing but twigs.”
“Sign, i'll grab my puffy jacket again.” After the two got their winter clothes put back on they set off into the cold.
“Alright honey, let's split off. I'll go left, you go right.”
“Sounds like a plan to me, but if I see any rats I'm going to scream.”
“That's fair, I can't run fast in this snow but I'll protect you.” John had walked no more than 70 feet away when he heard a scream. He turned and bolted to where his wife was.
“Honey what's wrong?”
“There's a man in the woods, and, there's footprints all around the cabin.”
John squints as he tries to see into the woods.
“I'm not seeing anything, and all the prints including ours are getting washed out by the snow, lets just grab wood together.” After a few minutes of grabbing more firewood from around the cabin the couple moves back inside and onto the couch to get warm and watch some tv before supper.
“Okay so the cable isn't working and all we have are dvds, do you like Grown Ups?”
John's wife did not respond. John walks over to her purse to find ehr medication bottle still sealed shut.
“Hey babe, have you taken your medicine recently?” still no response. John walked over to where his wife was sitting, her eyes had glazed over from staring at the wall. JOhn gave her a shake and she snapped back to reality
“Fuck, my pills. I've been so distracted with the drive and the snow that I forgot to take them. Or wait, have I taken them? I swear I did.”
“No honey, this is why you're seeing things, please take one, i'll grab you water.” With that John's wife swallowed the pill. Passing out on the couch John carries his wife upstairs. The alarm in the room begins to wail signifying that it's 8 am.
“What happened last night, I have a splitting headache.”
“You haven't been taking your meds, I think that's why you've been seeing stuff, today we really have to grab wood for this fire. Otherwise, we're going to freeze, or go home… but i already paid for the trip so i'd rather freeze.” John let out a chuckle.
“Alight lets go.” In a matter of about an hour the couple had refilled their wood supply securing themselves heat for the rest of their trip
Bear at the door.
“Dale!!!” Margaret screamed from downstairs.
“The dog is running around with your hand grenade, how the fuck did he even get it?”
“Oh shit.” Dale shot up running down the two flights of stairs to the basement level where the dog was happily running around with what was maybe a live hand grenade. Being a ww2 officanado Dale had multiple pieces of memorabilia, some of which being old grenades, some live, some not. The dog juked past both Dale and his wife running upstairs.
“God dammit!” Dale yelled running up the stairs after the dog. “It is way too early for this. From the top of the stairs a “Ching” could be heard followed by Dale seeing the pin hit the ground. Dale knew he had around 8 seconds to get the grande as far away from his house as possible.
“Buster, come here boy! I have a treat!” Dale shouted in desperation. At the word treat Buster came running over. Dale grabbed the possibly live hand grenade and launched it through the sliding glass door out into the cornfield. Dale grabbed his wife and hit the ground, about 15 seconds went by with no boom. Turns out it wasn't live after all. orld
