Distant

There's a house at the very edges of our town, in the seemingly endless woods it lies. Everyone believed it to be abandoned until the elders of the town spoke of the man who lived there. He was old, as was everyone in the town. Everyone had their own opinion and own thought as to why he was alone, but no one knew the real reason. Until one snowy day in December, Elizabeth wandered off and found his house, asking him the questions he never thought he'd hear again.
