The room is warm and I am laying on a mattress that is in the middle of the floor. To my left is a night stand, a door, and a dresser. Ahead of me is a closet, and a lamp. To my right is a baseboard heater set to "Medium" and a window.

The trees are tall and looming, making me feel as though I'm inside a grand cathedral with light piercing through translucent windows. It isn't particularly dark, nor is it light.

The path is narrow and is barely visible, it seems as though it was once well-travelled but has since been abandoned and the grass has grown long.

There is a river ahead. It starts at a waterfall and is slowly moving, and looks very easy to traverse. The water looks clear, and cool - good enough to have a drink.

The cup seems to be a cracked ceramic cup with light decoration around the rim, which has faded over time through use.

The key is a simple skeleton key and looks like it belongs to a woman's hope chest, as it is dangling from a soft pink ribbon.
