THE MOUNTAIN’S STORY
The hints deepen and do not take over. A gift window. Heavier snow. Evergreen on one door, not on every door. Bells somewhere in the harbor, not a concert. The coach is being checked for the journey home. The Boy packs nothing yet. October Fest builds its last fire layout and does not light it. The mountain is one night from being a memory, and still insists on being a place.
Stay: Wherever you have been sleeping
Tomorrow: Leave, or watch other people leave.
