Mike Olson's Short Story

I finally arrived at the mansion for the annual family reunion. Many of my relatives and I were staying at my uncle’s mansion in Happy Valley— Happy Valley is the Beverly Hills of Oregon.

Airplanes. Window seats. Wilderness. Just a few of my favorite things, Melanie thought quietly to herself while flying over Canada. Staring out the window, gazing at snow-covered mountains that looked like they were peeking into the clouds, she tried to remember how long it had been since she last saw Connor, her older brother.

For the past three years, I’ve come up to this remote area to forget, to bury my grief. But this year, I don’t need a trip to this run-down resort, this little cabin on the lake, to survive this week. However, there’s one thing I’ve left behind each year when I head back to reality…
