I could always describe a cabin. I could probably run a prompt account that's a different cabin every day.

Sometimes The Mountain Buries You is a queer novella about the things that threaten your attempt at a much-needed quiet life. Check out the about page here.
The librarian who is very excited about the poet is very excited you appear to be making friends with said poet. She's not entirely wrong, but it feels like lying not to tell her your proximity to Murre is a matter of practicality. Murre, who is now well enough known by most of town, shows up dusty from riding the dirt road into town in one of the ranch pickups that certainly doesn't have a cab filter. They're eating a muffin when you let them in. "The librarian lady is nice."
There isn't a lot of cabin to tour, though Murre's well past finished their muffin by the end. It's an A-frame with just about equal parts living room and kitchen, and a ladder masquerading as stairs to a second floor bedroom, a second floor would also be a bedroom, and what's a bathroom only because it contained a bathtub and nothing else. Downstairs, the bathroom—a sink and toilet—is awkwardly carved between the living room and kitchen retroactively since the outhouse in the back of the yard had been the sole facilities for some years some decades before you took up residence. The second floor not a second bedroom is a sort of awkward paradox of guest room, office, and child's bedroom—though the nearest schools are nearer the nearest hospital and it's been a while since a kid lived here. "If that's weird, the couch downstairs is pretty comfortable."
Murre shrugs and says something about seeing how they'd sleep tonight, they set their dusty backpack next to the couch though.
