I had my radio, my sidearm, a bottle of water, a granola bar that I think had been in the glove box since June, and a citation book I never used.

The road past the pavement is gravel and washboard.

Past that it's just dirt, past that it's nothing.

I parked the truck where the spur narrowed.

There's a downed elm there that nobody's ever cleared, and the road on the other side of it is washed out to where I wouldn't trust the truck.

Half a mile in on foot.

I'd done it before.

I checked my sidearm out of habit, locked up, and started walking.

Now, here's where I want to slow down a second.

Because everything that happened from then until the next morning, I've gone over it a thousand times.

And the thing I keep coming back to is how normal it felt at first.

How completely ordinary.

I was annoyed about the heat.

I was thinking about whether I'd remembered to take meat out of the freezer for dinner.

I wasn't on guard.

I had no reason to be.

The walk-in was uphill in stretches, but mostly flat.

Hardwood overhead.

Oaks.

Hickories.
