The room is freezing cold and drafty. There is a dying rhododendron on a metal stand in the corner. There is a bookcase filled with dusty tomes that obviously haven't been opened in years. There is the faint odor of sizzling bacon.
The forest is thick with lush green pine trees. There is a heavy layer of pine needles on the ground. The forest is somewhat dim, with bright streaks of sunlight shining through.
The path is barely visible and goes up a steep incline. Because of the steepness, it is navigated with some difficulty.
There is a small, natural stream going down a side of the incline. The water is moving briskly. I let the cold water run over my fingers, cup my hands, and drink deeply. It has a sweet, earthy taste.
The vessel is an old green plastic canteen, which must have been left behind by a camper.
The key is small and silver, and look like it unlocks a padlock.
