Outline - A Walk in the Woods - Driveabout
Added 2018-06-20 08:28:23 +0000 UTCThe outline used to create the 'Walk in the Woods' story. Little side note when I was growing up my neighbors father ran a Native American museum in his back yard. I met him once and it was an amazing experience! The 'old native American' who is actually a park ranger in the finished story is based on him. the 'granddaughter' is based on my neighbors adult daughter... who inspired many a fantasy.
(please note the actual story will vary from this outline) (Also note, SPOILERS!)
