I went back to the tractor supply job.
I'm still there.
Eight months in, I make decent money and I don't have to go into the woods.
I've thought a lot about what I saw in that clearing Wednesday morning.
I've tried to fit it into an animal I know.
I can't.
It wasn't a bear.
It wasn't a moose.
It wasn't a wolverine or a fisher or a cougar, though cougars aren't even supposed to be in Maine.
It had too many sections.
It moved wrong.
The head was long and narrow and the body was long and low and there were too many joints.
That's all I can say.
I've thought about what Travis said about stabbing it with his knife.
He still has the knife.
He cleaned it with bleach that same night in the hospital sink, but there's a stain on the blade near the hilt that won't come out.
Dark red brown.
He won't throw the knife away.
He also won't touch it if he can help it.
He keeps it in a drawer in his garage.
