The Van parked in front of a cottage and the Engine Silence almost instantly as it parked in front of the old rickety house. The Family of three began piling out of the van looking up at the house in amusement. The boy almost stared up at it in dis-interest. how ever he was contemplating its design and how it might look on paper later. After the parents exchanged a few words the family began un-packing the van of the tents, coolers and funny looking technology they had and dragged everything into the house. He didn't have that much except his suitcase, his phone, a messenger bag full of art supplies and his sketch book that he held firmly to his chest.<br/><br/>He walked around the inside of the house, and within was some....Interesting furniture. It looked old and dusty...maybe Victorian style. But other than a few seats and tables the house was relatively empty. It made a funny howling noise when the breeze blew through the old wood and rickety plumbing. The living room Area was pretty big, and it went into the dinning room and a small kitchen at the other end of the house. The rest of the rooms were upstairs but the stair case was broken and he probably wouldn't be able to go up their, but as far as he could see, this place was probably the better stay out of any of the other establishments in this town.<br/><br/>His parents began setting up the ten and his mother offered him food while his dad worked on the setting up rooms and things. Again he shook his hand and disregarded his mothers wishes for him to eat. Usually...He wouldn't turn down food but his eyes were busy exploring the premises. Once his dad set up his tent he pulled his stuff inside of it and set up the blankets and other things and then closed the small door to change out of his school uniform. He had to come here straight from the school with his parents and didn't have time to change. He pulled his glasses out of the small pocket of the front of the jacket and put them on, then he stripped down to his boxers. He pulled on a pair of jeans and an over sized sweater over the t-shirt he was wearing , and left the tent with his messenger bag and his sketch book. Before his parents could blink he shouted, "Im going to go out an Explore, catch you later!"<br/><br/>"Wait Young man-" His bother grabbed him by his sweater before he could escape and he looked back at her with a small roll of his eyes and gloomy stare, He held his tongue being polite instead of complain. " Take this with you. You haven't eaten all day..." His mother handed him a small bag with a sandwich inside and a juice pouch an he smiled in delight  of food. Sandwiches were very appetizing indeed. "Have fun But don't stay out until dark." She kissed the top of his head only to earn one of those 'you're embarrassing me mom' groans.<br/><br/>He slipped out of the house and went outside letting out a huge sigh. He went down the first few steps brushing off his clothes as if they were dusty. He paused, Looking up at the small bird that was perched on top of their Van, But he thought nothing of it. With a shrug he started walking down what used to be a street, Munching down on the food his mother gave him. Exploring in an abandoned world with nothing to do, was a rare thing to experience.....If that meant getting away from his parents for a few hours.
