I could describe cabins for days (I uh, have described cabins for days—I should get on making that prompt account).
Anyone else get real good at guiding people driving in reverse from being like, 10 and trying to get the fishing boat in the water?

You&& (working title) is a queer novella about when home is other people, including the monsters lurking in the woods. Check out the about page here. You&& is a sequel to Sometimes The Mountain Buries You.
Built for a family, Basin's small cabin had two bedrooms that barely fit beds, a bathroom that barely fit a bathtub, a living room with ample-cushioned ample seating, and a kitchen laid out to accommodate an entire six-person table with all the space around it for chairs. While at times Basin's cabin contained six people—at times it contained more—they had instead opted for a broken cafe table tossed out of the back of a long-established restaurant from the decent town, and an assortment of equally eclectically acquired chairs.
The asphalt tiles of the kitchen were black and white and mint, speckled and glittery. They were easy to maintain, easy to clean. Combined with the assortment of chairs, the asphalt tiles made the ample space of the kitchen ideal for tattooing and medical care. The nearest peeling-veneer cabinet was well-stocked for the types of injuries Basin was comfortable treating and the ones they would rather not but did.
Mostly people got scrapes and sprains. Most anything else Basin sent packing to the hospital.
What arrives in their kitchen late in the afternoon is worse than a scrape and sprain, and won't be sent packing to the hospital.
all my research notes for this chapter didn't contribute to the chapter at all (they'll appear later tho 😉), so here's a repost~
Every chapter of You&& and Sometimes The Mountain Buries You reminds me that I need to expand my first aid kit, I swear
