The light vanished earlier.
We kept walking toward that idea of safety.
Four miles isn't far.
Four miles is a couple hours.

The door was ajar.
Mason stopped short and put out an arm to hold me back.
We stood there listening.
Inside, it was quiet.
Mason leaned forward and called, Hello, Ranger?
No answer.
We stepped onto the porch.
