Windigo Island
“It was an area bared of ground cover by the tread of countless feet during countless gatherings. The aspen-lined shore of Iron Lake edged the area to the north and west. South was the meadow and east the rocks. The fire ring lay at the heart of it all, a circle of stones that held a bed of ash and char and that was circumscribed by sawed sections of tree trunk, which served as seating. That night Meloux sat near the fire, his lined face a ripple of reflected flame. Cork was there and Rainy and ...Daniel English.
