THIRTY four - Spring 2008
For the third time Alta was free. Freed of obligation and freed of men and freed of her home of ten years, a palm-log cabing with two dining rooms. She was seventy-four years old but she still felt like a young woman. Long ago she'd forseen the day when time's advance would collapse her into a dry heap, but that day hadnn't come, not yet.
- Kevin Moffett, In the Pines
