The Island Stallion's Fury (2011)
“But Phil Pitcher didn’t look up from his writing.
“You’ll go blind trying to work in the dark, Pitch.”
The man raised his head in a quick, startled way. “Oh, it’s you, Steve,” he said, putting down his pen.
“Not expecting anyone else, were you?” Steve asked, smiling.
“No. No, of course not. It was just that I was so absorbed.” Pitch paused to remove his glasses and rub his eyes, then he too smiled. “You’re right. It is almost dark. I’ll just put these papers away.”
Steve turned on the Coleman g...asoline lantern, and his eyes blinked in its bright yellow light. He watched Pitch pick up the pages of the work he had done that day and place them carefully in his leather briefcase before putting it just within the cave’s entrance. At the base of the opposite wall were three shovels, two picks, an axe and a pile of rope. Beside them were two rolled sleeping bags and a half-filled box of canned foods. In the center of the ledge was a small but efficient two-plate kerosene stove, and next to it all the pots, pans and eating utensils they’d ever need.MoreLess
