The room is quite cool, with a large picture window shut tight against the cold. The walls are bare, painted white, and the floor is nondescript carpet, rather rough to the touch. There is a low bed, uncomfortable and lumpy but with soft white sheets.

The trees are mostly short, oaks and other broad-leaf trees. It's very dim and quiet, and difficult to navigate.

It probably isn't a human trail at all; it is narrow, aimless, awkward, and in places nonexistant.

A medium-sized pond, very deep and stagnant. The water is cold and murky.

An ordinary disposable plastic water bottle.

A very large key, made of tarnished silver. It doesn't unlock anything.
