Cathy and Daniel roamed the woods freely, occasionally visiting a local woman for some schooling, living outside all conventions. Their father built things and hunted, working with his hands; sometimes he would disappear, forced to do secret, brutal work for money, but to them he was a gentle protector. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Narrated by Daniel after a catastrophic event has occurred, \u003ci\u003eElmet\u003c\/i\u003e mesmerizes even as it becomes clear the family's solitary idyll will not last.
