Overworked on the Turn

“Turn at the third left just past the old barn.” Her words echo in my mind. 

I wearily watch the road only to find a turnabout with multiple left turns.  My mind reminds me she’s always been a turncoat.  I have cleaned up her messes and hidden the bodies enough to be overworked. 

The red and blue lights tell me that am at the right place and turning her in was way too easy. 

Beware when you overwork the wrong person.

The reaction to my surprise return is not as pleasent as I hoped. 

She looks away.and let’s the words slip  “You are what almost killed me, but it made me stronger.”

Star light dances within the head of the hiker as boulders break his fall.

Layed out flat like a pancake.  I have become buried under a personal lahar.   Your searing  emotional earthquake drawn upon fault lines unseen.   I brace for aftershocks.

“She disappeared and the underbrush hide her path beneath leaves and sticks.” I shake my head.

 “You have seen nothing, but still stick to nothing and I don’t understand why?” He draws his handcuffs.

The cold blackness of space rained down on Prospectors Mountain.  The early fall night stilled by the moonless night.   The stats burned deep set into the sky.  Tall pines reach up to try touching them. 

Two stars looked down and reached back.   A steady vibration slide through the air as both glowing orbs landed to wake up the night.

Then it’s gone! The surrounding fire meant very little until it consumed a car with a lottery ticket that ended with at least three good numbers.  Puff it’s gone
