On a dark rainy night, in an area off the coast of Lake Erie, stands a secluded trailer off the beaten path. The trailer is old but in decent shape, it is also a 14 by 40 foot single wide. About 30 feet away is a stream of water approximately 10 feet wide flowing north towards the lake. The trees hang low over the opposite bank.

She looked in the door surprised to see both of the children sound asleep. She pulled the door closed a little tighter with a confused look on her face as she turned back towards the kitchen, she sees a child out the corner of her eye, a child running in the kitchen behind the cabinets.
