This is what I call a "shack" in my head, after the old Canadian Shack challenge, which was basically, "a pairing of your choice is in a shack in Canada for reasons that don't need explaining at this juncture, for roughly 500 words. GO!"

It really is possible to tell a mini-story in that, and it's hard to get the rhythm of setting the scene without bogging down in backstory. They're delightful when they work, though!
