This is a 1 hour read/short story involving a human and sasquatch

Newly single Carmen is not having a good time. Her ex Elliott cheated on her and left her heartbroken and crying. Thankfully her best friend, Devan, had just the suggestion - a solo hiking/camping trip in the remote forest of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Being a seasoned hiker and camper Carmen is all too excited to spend a week off the grid in one of her favorite national parks.

The site is perfect. It has a clearing along the river that allows for afternoon swims, the perfect trees for her hammock and countless small trails to explore. Still, she can't shake the feeling she's not completely alone. This fact becomes abundantly apparent when a family of bears visit her. Carmen would be dead if it weren't for the large man covered in fur named Sam, who saved her before disappearing into the bush.

Who is Sam? WHAT is Sam? Why did Devan give her directions to this particular campsite, and why did she wink when she did? It turns out this particular clearing belongs to Sam the Sasquatch and he's known for helping people get over exes...by getting under someone else.

This is the first in a series of novellas about interactions between cryptids and regular people.
