The Hut

The hut 
by Pearl Loomis

A pile of wood and logs stood in front of a muddy landscape. Jessica pulled 2 pallets out of the pile.

She stood them up to make corners. A uneven piece became the doorway and some more the wall. A hole was left and filled with a dog crate. A mat, blankets and pillows covered the dirty ground. A box became the table and the hut looked like this.

The hut still wasn't complete. Insulation covered the walls. Mesh hung from the doorway. A brick and sawdust pathway decorated with plants sat outside. Staples held a tarp on the wood. It looked like this.
