Just on the island's outskirts, a lone cottage stood out from the rest. It was a charming little cottage that looked warm and inviting. The hedges and flowers around it had all been trimmed and shaped into various intricate designs. Obviously, the owner went to a lot of lengths to keep her cottage that neat. This was what set it apart fom the rest- those prettily designed hedges.
However, the owner, who had recently moved in kept to herself pretty much. The neighbours were not bothered that Shed did not partake in most of their joint activities even though it was a little off the usual.
Inside the said cottage, the occupant jolted awake, her breath ragged and uneven, the sheets twisted around her like they were trying to hold her down.
