A vicious tempest is raging on a New England mountainside. A young traveler sojourns through the sea of wind and snow, finding refuge in a cottage, cozily nestled in the notch of a hill. The traveler burns with a determination to make his name known to the world. But that will all have to wait until the storm subsides.

The Ambitious Guest is a short fork lore tale. Narration is great, probably not worth a credit. Buy it on sale days.
