Chloe pulled her beat-up Jeep into the drive that was now overgrown with grass and weeds. As far as old farmhouses went, this one had seen better days even when she had visited it with Tristan during their last spring break together a year earlier. He’d stumbled across it on a drive for inspiration and had taken her with him. Chloe was preparing to help out at the pharmacy that day until he’d arrived on her doorstep. Apparently, insanity was a real risk if Tristan were forced to spend one more minute with his annoying roommate. He’d promised her camping, wilderness, hiking, beautiful landscapes and all the inspiration she could dream up. Her momma smiled at Tristan’s overly excited descriptions of their destination and ushered them both out the door. Instead of the idyllic campsite that he’d described, they ended up at the same farmhouse she’d just parked close to. It had been abandoned years earlier. The first time she’d been there, Chloe was convinced an axe murderer would get them, but Tristan was right. It was the most peaceful place she’d ever been and it was a perfect setting to get their creative juices flowing. There were birds everywhere eating the fruit that still grew in the untended orchard and at night, the air was so quiet that they could hear the babbling stream a good hour’s walk away as clearly as if they were standing next to it.

Tonight, like that first night there, the old farmhouse felt a little creepy. Lit only by the moon and the Jeep’s weak headlamps, it looked even more rundown than it was the last time she’d visited. Chloe was suddenly glad that she had Mo for company. In the short time she’d been borrowing the dog from Timmy, he’d become her sidekick and her best friend. She found comfort in his prickly fur, his cold wet nose and loud snores at night when he snuck onto her bed. Most nights she laid in the fetal position simply because the dog took up so much room on her little single bed.

Mo looked relaxed though, his ears flopping lazily around his face rather than twitching to capture every sound that he heard. “We’re sleeping in the car tonight, Mo. I don’t want to get eaten by whatever wildlife is out there and I don’t have any blankets.” Chloe sighed when Mo nudged her then looked outside. She felt cramped too and if she was going to spend the night in a confined space with a dog that, comparatively speaking, made methane smell like roses, she’d need to let him out. She turned her cell off so she didn’t have to watch the screen light up with the countless calls and messages Timmy, her sisters and her friends were leaving and got out. Reaching under her seat, she groped for the flashlight her daddy insisted she carry with her. Mo bounded out and sniffed around, familiarizing himself with his surroundings before picking a nearby tree to mark as his.
