After a breakup that left him questioning everything, Mark made the decision to leave the city behind. Seeking both peace and a fresh start, he bought a small cottage tucked away in a dense forest, just outside the town of Woodcrest. The isolation was exactly what he needed—a place where he could heal, reflect, and escape the reminders of his past life.

The woods became his sanctuary. The quiet, the stillness of the trees, the occasional rustle of wildlife—it all offered a sense of calm he hadn’t felt in years. But as the days pass, reality sets in. Money is running low, and the dream of a peaceful, self-sufficient life is slowly slipping away. To survive, he makes regular trips into Woodcrest. it’s the closest spot for essentials—groceries, supplies, and most importantly, job opportunities.

Each visit to Woodcrest is a reminder of how much he’s lost, yet it’s also where he’s trying to rebuild—hunting for work, navigating the quiet corners of town, and doing what he can to get by. Life in the forest is a refuge, but the reality of survival is pressing him to find a new path forward. With every trip into town, he carries the weight of uncertainty and the hope that, somehow, things will start to come together.
