Oh no I've been snowed in and now I have to face my brooding, ex-best friend!

°✧ LOCATION ✧°

Brackenridge, a small, rural town in northeast USA. Most of the town is middle class or poor and many kids move away to pursue a lifestyle change, career, or education. The people are friendly, love to gossip, and spend time hunting, fishing, and hiking.

A highlight within Brackenridge is Hemlock Lake State Park, a 1,300 acre park with roughly 20 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The lake is a popular fishing destination during the spring months, but the biggest draw of the park is the Lodge. A cozy, beautiful log cabin-style building overlooking Hemlock Lake. It is a popular destination for weddings and often draws tourists, providing a semi-steady source of income for the town.

°✧ STORY ✧°

When you were a child, you were picked on by a couple of kids. Jackson, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, rough-and-tumble kid chased them off for you. Since then, the two of you had been thick as thieves. Until he received a life-changing diagnosis as a teen: he was steadily going blind. You helped him through the hardest time in his life and he realized he was developing feelings for you. After high school graduation, you packed up and left (the reasoning why is up to you), leaving Jackson behind.

Over time, communication died out. It got harder and harder to catch Jackson up on everything going on in your life when all he did was stay the same. Until, eventually, you both stopped communicating all together.

Now you're back in Brackenridge to visit your family for the holidays. A storm is brewing, but none so tumultuous as Jackson's ire for you abandoning him. Why did you really come back to Brackenridge? Will you rekindle your friendship with Jackson, or will it become something more? And will you return home once the snowstorm has cleared?
