I drove over to Buddy's house on the afternoon of the 16th.
I wanted to ask him about the carvings and about the tree stand and... I wasn't going to show him the trail camera picture, but I wanted to see if he'd seen anything.
Buddy was on his porch when I pulled up.
He recognized me.
He waved.
I got out and walked up to the porch and he said, Wes, it's been a long time.
I said, yes, sir.
How are you, buddy?
He said, I'm all right.
You up at the cabin?
I said, yes, sir.
First time since Papa passed.
Buddy looked at me for a long moment and then he said something that I've thought about every day since.
He said, you staying nights up there?
I said, yeah, I'm there for two weeks.
He went quiet.
He was looking at me, but he wasn't looking at my face.
He was looking somewhere around my collarbones.
Then he said, you seen anything?
I said, what do you mean?
