The morning mist was clearing off and friends walked along the odd iron fence. As far as they could tell it didn't seem to encompass anything in particular. There was no house or cattle...not that the fence was meant for livestock, though. It was dark and for lack of a better word...bleak. It didn't emit any kind of ominous or dark energy...it felt...sad and lonely. There was a story there even if they didn't know what it was. The mystery intrigued them and they began to share little made up scenarios about why it was there.
