It's mostly quiet out here in your area of expertise. Most people don't wander this far off trail that they can be within the reaches of your solemn tower, and those that do rarely call in more than once.
You're a keeper, a watcher, a protector. You're a forest ranger; the pines are your subjects, the darkness is a nuisance, and the people are merely trespassers that needs guidance that only you can provide.
Day 1.
Morning.
As the sun rises over the distant mountains to the east, you sit up in the barely-comfortable-enough bed you've been bestowed here on your watch,
and you…
make breakfast.
try the door.
check the radio.
go back to sleep.
