We're All in This Together
“A heavy snow was falling, thickening the pass, and slowing their trek. They carried lanterns, and from a distance, if any creature had observed them, it might have conceived of the three men as a single beast made of flickering light, shambling and swaying, perhaps wounded. But no creature observed them.
They were on their way to Kosskoff's wife. The trappers kept a cabin and a carving shed on the south side of the mountain, three or four miles up. Kosskoff's wife had something wrong with her t...eeth. She was pregnant; it wasn't safe for her to travel.
The way between the two cliffs was a bottleneck of snow curving gradually up and out of sight. Whorls of deep freeze marked the rock faces on either side. Rising hundreds of feet, the cliffs folded in jutting piles of slate, stopping only where they seemed to meet the sky—a sliding gray-black mat of clouds—as if the weather were made of something solid. The snow fell over and across everything.
Several times the third man, the dentist, seemed to lag.MoreLess
