Once upon a time there was a forest. In it, life flourished. Plants grew and animals lived. Humans found the forest and built a town on the outside, but the forest grew faster than the town and soon it was enveloped.
In the town inside the forest, life was good. There was a school and a convenience store or two. You could get what you needed and if you wanted anything you couldn't get, it wasn't too far from larger cities. Even the capital of the country was only a couple of hours away by car.
But more importantly, people were nice. Friendship flowed and most inhabitants felt a sense of belonging. It was the sort of town that families lived in for generations and even if children left as they grew up, many came back once it was time to start their own family. Most families in town could trace their life there back many generations.
And when new people came to town, they were welcomed with open arms. Coming from a different town with much less love, that sort of welcome can be hard to trust, but learning to trust can be an adventure all on its own.
