Dark. It was nearly always dark under the mountain. Nothing that lived there — and you can be sure that something lived there for if one thing is certain, it is that life can be found in some very surprising places — needed light to see by.

Eventually she got too hard to play, and I stopped.
Maybe someday I’ll write out the way her story ends, but it always makes me cry when I think about it. I’ve even started it — that story is from Al’s point of view — but it’s hard writing. There’s love and joy and peace in it, but there’s also a whole lot of pain and loss, and it’s just wrenching. Read the rest of this entry »
