The room is cool like early mornings tend to be cool. It contains only a bed, a closet and a dresser for clothes--no mirror or television. There is a lamp on the dresser and a two identical black boxes.
The forest contains a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees. Moss grows on the rocks, and the floor is heavily matted with leaves. It's intermittently bright--it is a sunny day, but the forest is thick enough to blot out much of the light.
The path is well-traveled but rather narrow. People have been walking this trail for a good long time, but not many at a time.
The path ends at a small river/large creek. It is running steadily but not rapidly. It is pretty but not terribly wide or deep; a grown man could cross it on foot without being swept away.
The vessel is an old canvas canteen. It is somewhat weathered, but it hasn't rotted through...it's probably been there a few years.
The key is the color of copper. It's quite small, as if it unlocks a suitcase/piece of luggage. The end of the key is rounded and larger than it needs to be.
