(no subject)

Jason walks through the woods, away from the house and lake. He's gone far enough that he can't hear the sounds from the house or see the lights. He's never actually been this far back, not really sure how big the forest is here in the nexus. He eventually comes upon a moonlight clearing. A large rock, flat on top, is half buried in the ground on one side. He pushes himself up on it, stretching out, looking up at the nearly full moon. He hears a stream not too far away, deer and other creatures moving through the forest.

He closes his eyes, enjoying the quiet.

Forest

He wakes slowly, not quite sure where he's at. He stretches, the grass tickling the skin of his back. He vaguely remembers waking up before dawn and moving down to the ground, the rock too hard. He sits up, looking around. The glade is empty, although he can hear small game moving about in the bushes. Stands, stretching again and turns, heading towards the stream he heard the night before. Eventually the sound of the stream is overtaken by the roar of a waterful. He comes through some bushes and stares.

The falls are not very big, and the pool is about waist deep and very inviting. Quickly strips down, wading into the water then diving underneath, swimming beneath the falls. He sits in the water, letting the water cascade over his body, relaxing. After a while, he makes his way to the end of the pool, puts on his jeans and begins the two hour walk home.
