Chapter 2

Surrounded by tall trees and pretty flowers, lies a cabin, it’s foundation is made of cyclopean concrete footing and columns of steel, inside is made of oak woods which was a natural beauty radiating and inviting anyone who comes at it’s door step, with a water purification system collecting rain water and used water recycling it to be reused. Energy is provided by a solar panel and fuel cell to power lighting and other electronic devices, it’s a two bed room cabin with a fireplace, nice kitchen and a toilet, very sustainable and self-sufficient.

As a woman seats inside on a wooden chair, she’s probably in her 50s but looks like she’s still in her 30s. She tries without avail to get her dog eat a long tiny slice of a tired looking beef from her “come on boy, good boy, good dog” she said waving it on the dog’s face and it moves back and side avoiding the piece of meat, “come on jimmy eat, what’s wrong with you?” She yells as she was beginning to get annoyed with the dog “alright, you want us to do it the hard way right? No problem we’ll do it the hard way” she heads to the table, drops the beef on an empty plate, takes off her apron and places it on the chair she just stood up from, while the dog watches in confusion, she goes to a corner where some of her footwear are kept, she slips her feet out of the furry slipping she was wearing and pulls out a pair of boot from the rows of footwear and puts it on “you want me to be the bad guy huh? Fine, I’m the bad guy” she grabs the dog chain “now get your head in here” putting it’s head into it, she drags it to the table and hooks it to the leg of the table “maybe now you’d listen to me” she angrily grabs the plate from the table and disappears through the kitchen door, the dog tries to get himself out of the situation but stands no chance with the chain around it’s neck, she reappears with more slice of meat on the plate and a whip in her hand “let’s see how you wouldn’t eat now” she said placing the plate in front of it and and standing over it with a whip “now eat” she said bending it’s face to the plate of beef slices “stop being stubborn” she said but the dog was also persistent, she pulls the plate aside a little to prevent the dog from making a mess as she was about to spank it, there was a knock on the door, she pauses as she looks at the door and back at the dog “you gat lucky” she said dropping the whip on the floor a few steps from where the dog was, she goes to get the door.

“Jimmy” she said almost immediately she opened the door, Jimmy was standing on the stairs alone as he had already hid Scarlett at the side of the house.

“Yeah grandma” Jimmy said feeling unease about look on her face, she looked angry, very tired and a look which he wasn’t really sure what to call it, he was about to make the introduction when she interrupted “Jimmy have refused to eat, I don’t know what’s wrong with him, I don’t know what to call this, you’d better go inside now and make him eat, else I’ll spank him so bad and make you watch” she said making a way for him to come in, he looks at her and forces of smile “okay grandma” he goes in and she closes the door.
