Strikers
“It disappears into a smudge of light and then into nothing quite quickly. Our town isn’t large but it’s all I’ve ever known.
I’ve never been more than a day’s walk from it in my life. To the west, a few hours’ hike has brought me past the last of anything truly green and into the dry lands. I’ve camped out there many times with Connor and Cassi, watching the stars and listening to the wind through the scrubby brush. The ruins of Carolton, a place that always seems to be crawling with soldie...rs for reasons I can’t determine, is the furthest I’ve ever gone west. Connor and I collect stones for our tumblers there.
To the east, the grazing lands stretch endlessly, as flat as a piece of paper. In spring and summer it’s beautiful, with endless grasses waving in the constant breezes. Out there, there’s only the shriek of a hawk or the lowing of cattle to break the wind’s mellow song. South of Bailar, I’ve been limited to a couple of trips to the lake.MoreLess
