Daniel stood watching his old Ben ambled away. In an instant, it seemed, his gray shape faded into the forest and Paul was gone. Silence surrounded them once more. Daniel heard it loud in his ears. Once again, he had this strange feeling that no living creature besides himself and will inhabited these woods. He strained to hear the smallest sound, but not even a whisper of a breeze rustled the leaves. Listening, he felt an uneasiness in the pit of his stomach. He and will were all alone now in the wilderness, 15 miles from any neighbor and not even knowing which way a neighbor might be. They were all alone with the trees, and he was in charge in charge of finishing the cabin, making it ready for the family in charge of Will, who was so headstrong he was likely not to mind him, no matter what he'd promised Paw in charge of feeding the two of them and keeping them safe. He wished Paul hadn't taken his gun. But the old musket pod used ever since his days in the Continental Army, was the Onley gun they had. Besides, it had gotten so cantankerous, Paul said, that Daniel would is likely shoot his foot off his any game he was aiming at. He left the acts and two knives and they had the fire. I won't let that fire go out, Daniel told himself. Not ever.
