It was perfect, they thought as they looked at the little cabin.

Miles away from nowhere, in the middle of the woods, where no one might ever find them again and they could live as they wanted and do as they pleased.

The generator was a little touchy, and the water didn't run, but there was a well to draw water from, and, well, what use did anyone have for electricity these days? It wasn't like they could kick back and enjoy a film or watch Netflix.


At night they curled up together in the master bedroom and slept with one eye open.
