Mountain Fire
“June hustled after him, a determined look on her face. He opened his mouth to shout at her to get back, but she yelled, “Don’t even bother,” as she dodged a low thicket.
They dashed across the valley floor, weaving around boulders and brush shoulder to shoulder. The fissure in the mountain wall grew as they neared it. Dropping to a walk, he scanned the wall, checking left and right. “Nothing. Maybe he went in.” He forged into the gully. The floor was strewn with large rocks, hummocks of grass, ...and small, wiry shrubs, and barely wide enough for the two of them to walk side by side.
“What are we doing?” she hissed.
“Seeing what we can see.” He kept moving, picking his way carefully forward.
“There’s no one here.”
“Keep searching. There can’t be too many places to hide.”
They followed the ravine deep into the mountain, until the sky was a bright blue gash in the air high above them and they reached a vertical wall a mountain goat would have trouble scaling.
Nothing.MoreLess
