The Cabin in the Rockies It was a cold, dark October evening as a hunting junky named Frank sets out on his journey to his cabin in the great Rocky Mountains. He is wanting to bag a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep to bring home along with bragging rights. As Frank is walking down the trail to get the his cabin he doesn't notice anything out of the usual. He can't help but think of how beautiful and peaceful it is out in the wilderness: the changing leaves, the faint smell of a distant fire as it warms up a quaint little house, and the crunch of dead twigs under his feet.

Frank got quit cozy after dinner and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He got up early the next morning because he knew he would have to get an early start to take down his game.

Garry obviously didn't think it would be that big of a deal and doesn't want Frank to leave. Frank has had enough of Garry's free loading and him not being able to find his sheep. So Frank packs up his stuff to leave the cabin and is about to walk out the door while Garry is refusing for him to leave. Garry has no other choice but to use his secret powers to stop Frank. Garry extends his arms that turn into branches to block the door of the cabin to entrap Frank in the inside. Frank is screaming and trying to brake the branches to get out but he is to weak. He sees a window and makes a run for it to brake free. He jumps threw the window shattering the glass escaping the shape shifting tree he called his friend.
