Knifepoint (2010)
“That’s because it’s Saturday afternoon. Transition day. One tired group of campers has returned home, and the next won’t arrive until tomorrow. As we walk, I tell Darren about my memories of being a camper here. Living in a teepee. Canoe trips. Midnight kitchen raids. Getting lost in the dark. Falling in love.
I keep an eye out for the wooden arrow that points the way up the hillside, toward the mill site. I remember my first visit. Our counselor took our group when I was about twelve. We spent... a long time looking at the remnants of the millkeeper’s home up on the mountainside. It was eerie. Almost like his spirit was still up there somewhere. Watching.
Before long I spot the faded sign. I turn Whiskey’s head uphill. As I lead Darren up to the site, I wonder how much has changed in the years since I last visited. Is the old cabin still standing? Has the rusted car become overgrown by bushes?
A few minutes later, we arrive. The wooden wreckage spreads out around us. Half an acre of thin boards are piled in a huge heap, like a giant spilled a big box of matches.MoreLess
