Heading West

The wind continues to come from your left as you walk west, following a well-worn path. The cabin is no longer visible behind you because a thick mix of conifer trees completely block the view. The trees are not thick along the shore and you begin to feel a chill. The sun is now intermittently covered by the otherwise lovely cumulus clouds rushing in over the lake. Across the lake, it looks even darker.

You wonder if it is worth going further. There's no telling how big the island is. You are wishing you had consulted a map before agreeing to visit the island.

In spite of the rising wind and the chill you might continue west, following the path, or you could head back toward the cabin east. Choices, choices!
