Day 2: Outside of town and a few miles west of the hills There's something ominous in the air that morning. After living around Tony for years, Stanley has learned how to scent it. He can feel it coming, and this place hasn't dulled that sense of dread that curls up in his stomach like a rock. This day is going to suck, even if he has no idea how yet.
The farmer had shaken Stanley awake at dawn with an errand to do -never his favorite way to wake up anyway- but the anxiety had been there long before that. The previous night it had set in, sour and heavy, making sleep difficult.
Something trips his trigger on the way to the hills, and he abruptly changes direction, planning to get up into the hills a different way today. Last night, he'd had this really shitty dream about being gored by elk, and it's enough to send a shiver up his spine and draw him off of the path.
Alright, so he doesn't know the way like this. No big deal, he'll figure it out...
2/7 OPEN, potential death scene warning
