Welcome To The Job

At first, he thought taking this summer job would be fun, an escape from his shitty life... the idea of spending the entire summer watching for fires that were likely never to happen was appealing, but an hour and a half into the hike, Elliott began to regret his decision.

He was exhausted, drenched in sweat, and felt like his legs were going to give if he took another step forward... and he was nowhere near his destination. According to the trail-marker he passed about a mile back, there was still a day and a half's worth of walking before he even reached the Twin Forks Tower.
