A couple years after everything ended, I'd settled deep into the slow spin of domestic life.
My phone rang.
And I picked it up.
I don't know why.
No one picks up the phone anymore.
But I did.
And there was a voice I knew somehow.
Although I couldn't quite place it.
It was a voice I trusted.
She said a lot of things that didn't make sense, and then... Alice... I'm sorry.
But first and last, the voice gave me a warning.
And something in the way she said it made me think I had better pay attention.
She said, don't tell Alice.
I'm back out here.
Some anonymous road up through remote northern Nevada.
Car this time, not a truck.
Told Alice it was a business trip.
That the new job required them.
That I kind of didn't mind because I had been missing the travel.
I don't know if that part was a lie or not.
