They are still working on identifying everybody.
Some of those licenses belonged to men who had been declared dead in absentia in three different states without anybody ever finding a body.
She asked me once, off the record, if I wanted to know what was on the other tubs.
I told her no.
I still don't want to know.
I knew enough.
The investigator told me that the throw he made with the firewood was something they'd seen in one of his old arrests.
He'd done it to a corrections officer in a holding facility years before, used a chair, took the officer down before he could draw, almost got out.
They'd written it up in his file.
She told me I was lucky that I'd been close to a tree line when he did it.
if we'd been out in the open at the camp with him already set he would have followed up before i got my feet back under me she said that more than once that i was lucky i gave my statement four times over three days i went to the doctor and had my arm looked at and my ear stitched up where i'd cut it on the branch i never felt
i went home i slept for about two hours then i drove to my parents place and i slept there for a week i never went back to the eleven point district i put in for a transfer and they gave me one up to a different forest different work mostly desk now
i don't go into the woods alone any more for any reason i don't camp i don't hunt which i used to i love the woods still i miss them but i do not go in them by myself and i won't people ask me sometimes when this comes up what the worst part of it was they expect me to say the burn pile or the fight or the long night on the ridge it wasn't any of those the worst part was when he set the wood down
when he stopped on the path with that armload of oak and he set it down easy and he asked me if I wanted coffee because in that moment he was deciding I could see it he was looking at me and he was running the math and he was deciding whether I walked out of those woods or not and he was calm about it he'd done it before with other men and they had not walked out and he was calm he didn't get to decide that day that's the part I hold on to I decided
I went first.
I ran.
I went north when he expected me to go west.
I used the sinkhole he probably thought he'd use on me.
And when he leaned out over that lip with his red light, I came out of the dark behind him and I made my own decision back.
He's the one in the ground now.
