The Long Week

Nix whistled loudly and then quickly shut the door. Propped up against the wall was a thick wood plank for securing the treehouse, it slid easily into place when he barred the door. In the Loki Tree House, most of the first level was taken up by the kitchen. This version boasted a large entryway and a small room for coats to be hung up. One-half step down led to a living room, with six sofas set into an 'L' shaped pattern. Three large coffee tables and brick fireplace completed the room.

The ceiling looked to be nearly twenty feet in height. "Guess the quality of the home is dependent on the tree being used." Nix walked through an archway into a formal dining area. The long table was made from a dark redwood and lined with padded chairs that looked comfortable.
