Joe Pan: A Single Novel Isn’t Meant To Encompass EverythingRobert Lee Brewer
An old, severely rusted and weathered Jeep-like vehicle sits abandoned in a dense forest. The vehicle is a mix of faded red and peeling white paint, with visible rust covering much of its body. It has a single yellow light on its roof and round headlights on the front. Tall, slender green trees with sparse foliage fill the background, suggesting a misty or damp environment, and the ground is covered in lush green ferns and undergrowth.
