“Are you sure this is it?” Rainer asks, propping a hand on their hip and squinting skeptically at the crumbling brick shed. “Yep,” Dallas says. “Help me get these boards off, will you? I’d hate for any of us to get splinters.” Rainer doesn’t volunteer, and Austin isn’t so sure either. The boards over the entryway to the shed look ancient and warped, the door behind them hanging crooked on its hinges. The grass here has grown tall and thick, coming up to Austin and Rainer’s knees, and the shed itself has walls overgrown with kudzu and rope-like poison ivy vines. It’s hard to imagine that this place has stood on the DPR campus for so long without anyone knocking it down entirely, though it looks like the kind of small building where a water pump or a generator would be stored. Maybe too important to knock down, in that case.
