Description
This is my world. I know this mountain the way a city man knows his own street. I'm utterly self-sufficient. I haven't needed anyone in over twelve years. And I don't intend to start now.
I see no reason for my life to change. Just because a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere and squirreled herself away in my cabin, that's not going to alter the way I do things or see the world.
But she needs me. She needs me, or she wouldn't be here, trying so hard to please me. Needs a place to stay, a roof over her head, a little food to eat. And perhaps- protection?
She's quiet and a good cook. Better yet, she stays out of my way.
I've decided. I'll let her stay with me for now.
After all, how much trouble can one little Squirrel really be?
Content warning (Spoiler alert!!): While nothing is depicted graphically, this story deals with themes of sexual assault, domestic abuse and infanticide.

Hi, Friends! I'm a web-novel creator but also an avid consumer. I know what it means to find a quality free story, and so I'd like to keep my short stories free for you, and help bring a little something special into your day. But I still have a family to support, two children and a little black dog who's always hungry. So please consider supporting my work so I can continue to bring you more of the stories you love.
I'll thank you, and Ruffles will too!
You guys smashed the last goal and recording's a lot of work, so I'm really setting the bar high this time! If we reach the current goal of 2m, I will be recording the webnovel of your choice and posting it on my YouTube channel, @JaeEssRealSpecial. Good luck, and happy reading!
