Harper lay on her back, watching the clouds slowly cross the sky, some passing in front of the sun, which was approaching it's zenith. She closed her eyes for what felt like just a second, however when she opened them again the sun had drastically changed locations. Scrambling to her feet she dusted herself off before heading down the mountain.

“Shouldn’t have fallen asleep, now I’m probably not going to get home before dark. Though I suppose it wouldn’t matter, it’s not like i’d be causing anyone to wait.”  She muttered to herself with a frown on her face. She went much faster than she normally would, only stopping to collect the rabbits and squirrels she had caught, and undoing the traps. There had been less and less of them recently, and she was thinking about making a new route. Time passed quickly as the sun got closer and closer to the horizon, before she finally reached the top of the last ridge, her cabin in sight with perhaps a bit more than half an hour before the sun fully set.

As she was climbing down, she tripped and began to tumble down the surprisingly steep slope. She managed to grab onto a young sapling however it ripped out of the ground, causing a surprisingly large amount of the slope to come with it. Her tumble slowed until it eventually stopped, dirt from the sapling cascading onto her. She spit out some of it that had gotten into her mouth, before getting up and climbing back up the hill to the path. As she passed where the sapling had been her eyes felt drawn to look at a hole in the ground that had been revealed, just about big enough to crawl through. However she did not want to be stumbling in the woods in the dark, so she climbed up the hill and finally got home to her cabin.
