WALKIES

1M/1F

                                         Conventional, middle-aged Jen goes for her daily walk in the nearby woods and meets Steve, a straight-talking vagrant.  He invites her back                      to his home, a large cardboard box set among a clump of fir trees. Hesitant, but desperately wanting to widen her horizons, Jen accepts.  So develops a                        bond between two people whose backgrounds are widely different.  But there are questions: why does Steve insist that she owns a dog when Jen insists                      that she does not?  Are things really as they seem? Or has Steve an agenda that Jen knows nothing about … until that is - she looks deep into the corner                        of his box.
