Things Could Be Worse
"What were you thinking when you asked to meet me in this place?""Look around, Dee.""At what? A nearly empty diner serving burnt coffee? Look at those poor desiccated plants in the window. They mended these pleather booths with duct tape, and they could at least use red to match. I don't think this place has changed since the fifties, and they're so far out of date that they're back in again!""Ignore all that. At least there are no TVs blaring sports from all sides.

Carved amongst the exposed rootswww.onedoor.cc of a fallen tree, she dragged her fingers along the smooth grooves of a root and small tufts of dry soil crumbled back to the earth. She smiled and grabbed the branch, giving it three big shakes until large cascades of soil crumbled to the earth, exposing more roots and open air.While this den looked cozy and presently abandoned, she knew a bear would seek it for its long winter’s nap and she didn’t want to get in the w...
