Being a worker drone at Home Depot wasn’t much, but it paid the bills. I was happy to coast through life with no real ambitions, at least until I met a minotauress who could carry three bags of Quickcrete on her shoulders.

Quitting my job and getting into a Jeep with somebody I didn’t know at all for a trip to a secluded cabin in Northern Michigan was a life-changing choice.
