The room I am in is a pleasant temperature. The hot sun shining through the window is counteracted by a revolving ceiling fan. I wake up in a king size bed. The sheets are very crisp and smooth but they are not cozy. The room has high ceilings and is very open. One wall is entirely window and looks out into a metropolitan area, a park and in the distance the ocean. The room is modern and has rich hardwood floors and creamy white walls. From my room I can see other rooms - a bathroom and a small living room that has a chandelier.
The forest is beautiful. There are tall trees with trunks of all different sizes. Cedars, alders, pines and many other trees are surrounded by think underbrush. Berry bushes and ferns are the most prominant. The sun is sparkling through the canopy, especially along the path. Off the path and deeper in the woods it becomes slightly darker.
The path is easy to see and it seems as if it has been around forever. It is a simple dirt path that is the result of hundereds of years of travel by both man and animal. It is free of litter. There are a few roots protruding here and there.
The water is a steady river. The sun dances on the deep blue surface to the sound of the water rushing over the rocks and boulders. The edges are nice to wade in and the water slows at one point creating a pool perfect for swimming in. The water is refreshing but warm enough that you want to dive in and splash around for a while.
There is an old fashioned canteen sticking out of the bushes on the bank of the river. It is a dark green leatherlike material with a silver screw off lid that can be used as a cup. There is also a square label on it made of silver. There are initials carved into the silver label. The canteen has a worn look to it, although it has stood up very well to the elements for the long time that it has lay hidden in the bushes on the bank of the river.
The key is an old fashioned, ornate key. It is unlike the modern keys used to lock houses and cars. The key is a tarnished golden colour but it does not look as though it has been sitting out in the forest for long. I guess that it unlocks an old fashioned chest or the door of a house deep in the woods that has been forgotten by everyone except the person who lives in it. I am certain the key is of great importance.
