He's a craftsman running a little craft shop and, usually, he makes things in leather. But something is driving him to work out something in wood.. Sure, he can do that, but he's not all that good at it. And he's never made one of these before. His wife won't like it. He's certain of that. So, he works on it in the off hours, when she's not around. Why is he doing this? Is it worth angering his wife and taking time from his faltering business? When two mysterious customers enter the shop, however, more than one world gets involved in what he's doing. And, it turns out, his wife has her own reasons for him to complete this strange piece of wood. This is a prequel to the series "A Frank Adventure" about the wanderings of a depressed elf named Frank who just wants to be left alone to sit in his cabin in the woods and drown in misery. The first novel of his journey begins with "Out of the Forest," and you can read the first couple of chapters of it at the end of this little, four chapter story.
