I unloaded my stuff, opened the windows to air out the cabin.
Everything looked okay.
Dusty.
Mice had been in the kitchen.
But the roof was intact.
The wood stove was fine, and the place still smelled a specific way.
Wood smoke and pipe tobacco and old wool.
Papa's smell.
I sat on the porch that first evening with a beer and I watched the light go out of the hollow.
And I want to tell you that I felt peaceful, because that's what I expected to feel.
But I didn't.
I felt watched.
I brushed it off.
First night alone in a cabin.
First time back since the funeral.
Obviously my head was going to be weird.
I went to bed early.
I woke up at around 3 in the morning because something was on the roof.
Not walking on it.
Something was on it.
