Snippet #1574337

Arya clenched her teeth has they hit the dirt road. She was once again thankful that she was the one driving. Ten minutes on this baby would have her car sick and out with an upset stomach and head for half the day. Instead she slowed the car, trying to make the ride easier for everyone, and rolled down her window. While not much of a camping person, Arya loved cabins and woods and open plains. As long as she could use a toilet and have a bath everyday – or every other day, at least - she wouldn’t mind living in a place like this.

She grinned at the other girls reactions to the road. “Perhaps, if we have free time, we could work on it a bit. Move some of the bigger rocks out of the way, fill in the holes.” She spoke, already knowing what the answer would be. While none of the others minded dirt and a little bit of roughing it, there was no way she was going to get them to help with a mile and a half of road. Oh well – bruised butts for everyone.

When the pulled up in front of the house, Arya slowed even more before she came to a complete stop. It was quaint, with no real driveway to speak of. Instead she did a u-turn in the road and backed up so the trunk was closer to the door. It would make getting stuff in easier and leaving that much less time consuming.

With that, she turned off the car, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, and stepped out. Her legs were stiff, but standing felt good. She bent her knees and raised her arms above her head. The air smelt good – clean – so she took a deep breath.

The house itself was small and blue. It was perfect sized for the four of them. The small size would also make it easier to clean, which suited Arya just fine. Looking at it, she wished the trip was scheduled to be longer. She’d love to stay in this place for a year and fix it up.

“Come on children. Stretch your legs, use the restroom, and then its time to clean.”
