Tyler

“Can you live any farther from civilization?” Kayley asked, getting out of her car. “Do you have any neighbors?”

“Just a couple of grizzly bears,” Tyler responded. He closed the front door and walked to her car, squinting from the bright morning sun. “They’re not much conversationalists but they love to party.”

She opened her trunk and struggled to pull out a large suitcase. Tyler smiled while watching her. His eyes kept drifting to her long legs showing from her hiking shorts.

“Are you bringing that on the trip?” he laughed. “You can’t even lift it out of the trunk. How are you going to carry it through the woods?”

“I’m not.” She dropped it on the ground. It made a thud as if it was full of bricks. “You are.”

She left it for him and walked around the car looking at the house. “Nice place.”

He looked back at his little cabin. It was a nice place. Tyler had found the abandoned cabin in the woods while hiking twenty years ago. He knew immediately that he wanted to live there. Somewhere far from everyone where he could be at peace in nature and live off the land. He rebuilt and restored the cabin himself over the years and now it was just perfect.

“I have to go to the bathroom,” she said.

He pointed at a tree. “That’s the outhouse.”

“Seriously?” she said.

“Kidding. On the right of the kitchen.”

She stepped towards the door and paused. “Is there going to be animal heads all over the walls?” She crinkled her nose up, which made Tyler smile. Maybe this weekend wouldn’t be so bad after all.

“No just a life-sized, stuffed elephant in the living room.”

Her lips parted as her jaw sagged down.

“Kidding,” he said. “You’ll be fine.”

He looked up at the sky while waiting for her outside. The sun was shinning and there weren’t any clouds in sight. Going to be a nice weekend for hunting.

He glanced in the window and saw her studying the pictures on the fireplace mantel. His favorite was with him and his uncle Harry at a baseball game when Tyler was a kid. The rest were with him and some favorite animals at his conservation center.

Tyler studied her as she picked up the picture of him hugging William. William was a billy goat that was confiscated from a factory farm. He was left in a small cage with three other goats, twenty four hours a day and barely fed. When Tyler and his team went through the farm he found William lying beside the other two goats in bad shape. He couldn’t stand up, his legs too weak from lack of exercise, and he had a serious infection from a bad cut on the side of his head. Tyler had taken him back to his newly opened animal sanctuary and tended to his wounds. William had been a staple at the conservation center and even appeared on the center’s logo. Today he was happy and healthy living in the center with three other goats. Tyler felt a tightness in his stomach.
