Transcript
Every morning at 6AM, this kitten comes onto my balcony and starts headbutting. Oh, you're so cute. I rented a secluded cabin in the woods because, I mean, look at my gray hairs. I originally booked this place because I was trying to get away from my problems, but little did I know that problems would soon find me. No, I was super excited to stay in this cabin because it was $428 for the entire month. That is less than $14 a day. My host for this month is a guy named Dragon? That can't possibly be his real name. After arriving at the airport, I was a bit nervous because Ubers wouldn't take me to my destination, but luckily Dragon insisted on picking me up. My Airbnb host actually asked me to go to lunch, so we got burgers. Do you like the frogs are really popular, you know. One? Dragon's friends are the nicest people. Aside from taking me out to lunch, one friend even bought me a local SIM card. Afterwards, they drove me forty minutes into the hills and we finally arrived at the cabin. We'll come. Smells like cigarettes. Probably. Probably. On MTV, they say this is where magic happens. Upstairs, there's two other bedrooms, but the view from the master is incredible. Before Dragon left, he warned me to stay safe because there's actually tons of feral animals in the woods. Of the scorpios. Oh, is it possible I will die? Holy After Dragon said goodbye, I decided to open up all the windows to get rid of the cigarette smoke and when I looked outside, that's when I ran into my first little friend. I named him Dummy because he kept head better me, but in hindsight, I really shouldn't have fed him because during the next two weeks, six other cats visited me. And then I got ringworms. We haven't had one month of uninterrupted peace.
