A/N: This is my first drabble. I have no beta for this one, so any errors are mine.

Chapter 1
My uncle's cabin is hidden away about a half mile from the main road in the Olympic National Forest in Washington. It was in his will that I was to have it and the land leading to the surrounding tree line; approximately fifty yards all the way around. He didn't have any kids of his own since he and his wife just couldn't conceive. She passed away last year from a brain aneurism. My family and I would be up twice a year when I was younger. Once in the summer for a two weeks, then again for Thanksgiving or Christmas for another two weeks. We got the best of both seasons.
After the shock of me getting the house wore off, I had to ask my brother, Emmett, and my sister, Alice, if they were okay with this. Emmett had said, "As long as we can still use it like usual, then it's fine by us." And it was. I love my family and all the in-laws, so why would I ban them from tradition?
I pull up to the house and park my car. I get out, step up onto the front porch and put the key in the lock. With a deep breath, I open the door and go inside. I drop my bag, taking a look around. Everything is as it was two months ago, only now the man that would greet us with a smile and refreshments wasn't there. The poor man of 62 died of a heart attack. There was no one around, but he recognized the signs and called 9-1-1. They were too late.
I walk to the kitchen to see what all is there. There's spoiled milk and rotting food along with some beer in the fridge. The cupboards seem to be good, but I'll still need to go to the store. I look to my left and outside through the window above the sink. The sun is starting to set, so the store can wait until later.
