A couple of children walk into a cabin. As they walk in they found old flasks, bitter books, and bottles. The floors creek as they walk further into the cabin.

Girl: whoa, I didn't actually think this place is real
Girl 2: have to admit this place is scary but the carvings and patterns it's so beautiful
Boy 2: hey look at that picture over there. Looks like baby yoda
Girl: out of everything in here that's the thing that catch's your eye
Boy 2: well I mean look at it

One of the children walk upon a clean table, with a colorful plate, holding a slice of cake with a lion's face on the side of it

Boy: hey guys, come check this out

The other three children walked over to the boy and the clean table.

Girl: what is it?
Boy: look at the slice of cake
Girl 2: what's wrong with it?
Boy: don't you see the lions face on it
Girl: well, yea, I can see it, can you?
Girl 2: oh, yea I can see it now, theres the mane
Boy: and theres it's big nose
Girl: out of the sharp teeth and tail, you see the lions big nose
Boy:......yes
Boy 2: I don't know about y'all but I can tell you what's really wrong with it
Girl 2: what's wrong with it?

The boy went to the kitchen and open some drawers to find silverware

Boy 2: how can someone make a cake...

The boy opened a drawer and found some forks and spoons. He picked up a fork and walked back towards the three children and the clean table

Boy 2:....and leave it here to go to waste?

The boy took his fork and was about to stab the cake dead center in the lion's face, till one of his friends stopped his hand from making the fork stab the cake

Boy: what are you doing?
Boy 2: well, I'm not gonna let it go to waste, grab a fork and we can all eat it
Girl: have you not watched the movies about this sort of stuff
Girl 2: yea, that cake is a trap
Boy 2: but it's just a cake
Boy: yea, a fresh slice of cake on a clean plate and table in the middle of the old, rugged cabin. It's obviously a stand out trap
Boy 2: aren't y'all hungry?
Girl: yea, but we're not that hungry to die
Boy 2: what happens if someone made this and they just tried to lure a friend to talk to?
Stranger: then you'd be friends with a witch

Girl: who are you?
Boy 2: where are you?

The stranger came out of the shadows into the light revealing himself. He had smooth lightskin, a glistening white smile, very tall and slim, and had wavy black hair.

Stranger: what are you all doing here? This is a no trespassing area
Girl: we're sorry
Boy: we just wanted to check the place out
Stranger: so, you just ignored the police tape?
Boy 2: but you crossed it too
Stranger: well, I'm older
Girl 2: but are you a cop?
Stranger: are you?
Girl 2: touché
Stranger: how'd you all find this place?
Boy: well, ever since we were kids we heard stories and rumors about this shack
Girl: so we came out and found it
Stranger: I'll have you know, this isn't any old "shack". Where you're standing at is a house of a mother and son
Boy 2: but I thought this was the witch's cabin
Stranger: T-T
Girl 2: it is you doof...

The girl looks at the tall stranger with wavy hair

Girl 2: ....isn't it?
Stranger: you are correct
Boy: but do you know if the son was a witch or the mother?
Girl: Or did a witch adopt a son cause of the death of the husband?
Girl 2: Or did the mother adopt a baby boy but didn't know he was magical?
Boy 2: or did the son watch his mother do magical things and then accidentally drink some weird liquid that turned him into a son of magic but didn't know until he was doing something and then everything around him was levitating?

Everyone stared at the boy for a second

Stranger: okay whatever you just said, some of that is true. But I can explain
Boy: you can?
Stranger: yup
Girl 2: oh, please do tell us
Girl: tell us the details of the cabin
Stranger: okay okay, let's sit down at the kitchen table and I'll tell y'all

Everyone sat down at the table. The kids sat in front of the stranger waiting for him to explain his knowledge of the cabin. The stranger realizes the eyes on him

Stranger: man, you all are looking at me like begging lion cubs and none of you ate a cake
Girl 2: wha-?
Boy 2: cake?
Girl: what do you mean?
Stranger: don't worry it's in the story. Now listen up cause I'll only repeat things that you truly, absolutely, positively do NOT understand, okay?
Boy: understood
Girl 2: yes, sir
Girl: yup yep yippe
Boy 2: will we have cake?
Stranger: sure, but just don't eat that cake in front of you

The boys and girls stare at the cake with a lions face on it on the clean plate

Boy 2: why can't we eat it?
Stranger: well let me start the story and I promise you I can explain every one of your questions

All the kids locked eyes on the stranger and listened

Stranger: this is a story about cabin fever
