A young man made his way through the alley's as the streets had never been kind to him or his mother. It was nearly six where the sky had turned dark. With a small bag in his hand, the young man continued to cross houses until he reached the village's very end, that was also the way that led to the forest.
"Mother I am-" he said, standing outside the door, but he received no response. He knocked on the door, wondering if his mother had gone somewhere. When he knocked harder, the wooden door moved as if it had not been locked, "Mother?" called Calhoun, and when his eyes fell on the woman on the floor, he shouted, "Mother! What happened?" he questioned her frantically, after going to her side.
