"Come on... Come on..."

I close the book and watched as Antonio attempts to use an old propane stove.

Fail.

Antonio swore a bit, before looking to Penn and I.

"Damn.. Well, looks like we're having barbeque tonight!"

"Yay." Penn answered, unenthusiastically.

Since Antonio is a lazy old man, Penn and I were the ones searching for firewood.

"This looks dry.."

"Aubrey?"

I picked up the branch, then glanced at Penn. She had no trees behind her, and the setting sun was directly behind her, causing a beautiful glow to her golden blonde hair. It always occurred to me that Penn was very pretty..

"Aubrey, what?"

Whoops, I was staring.

"Oh! Err, you called my name, what?"

"Right, I just wanted to point out those flowers. They were pretty, I wonder what they are, or if I have time to pick some.."

"Black eye susans." I say automatically. Then, I turned back to my collection of firewood.

There was something in the distance. Something unnatural.

"Hey, Penn..."

"Wha?"

But I was already walking, and picking up speed, towards the thing in the distance.

What could it be?

From here it looks like a map, though it could be a trap. Hmm... Paper.. Could it be a lost cat poster?

I finally am in front of it. None of the above...

It looks like a terrible drawing.

On paper,

Not notebook.

But...

I stared, dread filling up within me to the overflow.

The page hunt.. I believe.. Has begun.
