I said it like you'd tell someone not to touch a wet paint sign, a little amused at myself for even saying it.
It's a dinner bell, Dan, he said, and he rang it.
It wasn't a big ring.
He flicked the rope once, the clapper hit the brass once, and it gave out a single clear note that hung in the cabin and faded.
A nice sound, honestly.
A warm sound.
Wesley grinned at me and let go of the rope, and the bell went still, and that was it.
Nothing happened.
I have to make you understand that nothing happening was the worst possible outcome, though we didn't know it.
If the woods had answered right then, that second, we'd have had the truth in front of us and we'd have done something with it.
But nothing happened.
The fire ticked, the wind moved in the hemlocks down the drainage, the way it always did.
Wesley made a ghost noise, woo, and we laughed, and we finished our beers, and somewhere before midnight we banked the fire and went to bed, Wesley on the bunk, and me on the foldout, and I slept fine.
I slept the whole night.
That's the part I'd undo if I could undo any single part.
I slept fine.
It was the next night that it started.
That second day was ordinary and pleasant.
We walked the property line in the morning, following the old blazes Lowell had kept fresh on the boundary trees.
We found, in the course of that walk, the first piece of the explanation, though I didn't recognize it as one.
