Maggie and Daniel have a modest but meaningful life together. She is a vet tech. He is an environmental lawyer. Both of them are fierce animal advocates. But after an ill-fated decision goes horribly wrong, Maggie finds herself seeking solitude. She finds it at an abandoned campground that she turns into her business. She wants people to enjoy the beauty of nature and the animals we share the planet with. As long as they do so without harming any of them. There is no greater crime in Maggie's eyes than harming an animal, and anyone who even considers it meets a side of her that she didn't know existed until it needed to. Maggie has taken possession of the forest, and she will protect it by any means necessary. The prequel to the short story of the same title featured in the anthology, Vacay & Vacation Nightmares by The Ladies of Doom.
