Butternut Hollow

Middletown, Connecticut

Emma: *waiting to catch some fish, to no avail* Why am I not catching any fish?!

SkittishReflections: Maybe, the fish aren't biting, today.

Emma: Then, how come that man caught some fish?

Man: *caught several fish*

SkittishReflections: Probably, luck was on his side. Why don't you do something else for now?

Emma: Like what?

SkittishReflections: Go for a walk or something. Just bring some water with you. It's humid out here.

Emma: I guess.

SkittishReflections: Okay. Change into some sneakers, and take off those boots.

Emma: Uh huh. *walks back into the apartment, unzips her boots, and puts on some black canvas shoes to go walking in* Later.

SkittishReflections: Have fun, and be safe.

Emma: Uh huh. *leaves with a bottled water and goes walking onto Butternut St, and walks left onto West St*
