I slam the door of my black Jeep Wrangler shut behind me, locking it and shoving the keys into the back pocket of my jeans. I walk around to the bed of the truck and pull my tan hiking pack out, slinging it onto my back.
I start down the trail, reflecting on everything that's happened recently. Thankfully I get to escape society for the summer again, especially with the pressing issue of the monsters' return from the Underground.I'm brought back from my thoughts as I trip over a stray branch laying across the dusty path. I attempt to regain my balance but end up falling on my face. I push myself up into a sitting position, rubbing the new scratch forming across my cheek. I pull my hand away, blood thinly coating my fingers.
I hold my face as I stand up, moving over to the branch. I pick it up and push it to the side of the trail with my foot and continue walking, stumbling slightly as I go.I continue down the path, wiping the remainder of the blood away with my sleeve. My legs start to burn as the trail slopes uphill. I raise a hand over my eyes to block out the sun.
The Thorofare Watchtower comes into view, peeking out over the tops of the fir trees. A smile spreads across my face as my pace quickens at the sight of the wooden structure.I walk up to the stairs of the tall tower, running my hand along the beaten wooden rail. The smile doesn't leave my face as I push open the door to my lookout. I pull my keys out of my pocket and set them down on the dark wooden desk as I shut the door behind me.
Sitting down in the light blue, wooden chair at the desk, I pull my radio off the charger and press the PTT button."Hello, Two Forks Lookout!" I say excitedly. I stare with wide eyes through the large window at the lookout across from my own. A burst of static sounds from my walkie-talkie as the new lookout responds.
"yeah, hi. who are you?" A deep voice replies.
"My name is [Y/N]. Look out your window. See the lookout tower on the top of the hill?" I respond, leaning back and kicking my feet up on the desk.
There's a pause before the voice responds with a simple, "yeah."
"That's me!" I say cheerily. "And your name is?"
"uh..." He says. "sans."
I let out a short laugh before radioing him again. "Like, the font?"
I hear him sigh quietly. "yes, like the font." There's a pause."well, goodnight," Sans says, breaking the silence.
"Welcome to the job," I reply, setting my radio back on the charging station. I stand up from my seat at my desk and walk towards my bed. I sit down on it, gazing out the window at the disappearing sun. I sigh in content as I lean back onto my pillow and close my eyes.
