The stars began to
emerge from the darkening sky as she lay on her back, watching the
heavens. The heat of the day had dissipated and she snuggled deeper into
her mummy bag, grateful for its comforting closeness. The earth beneath
her was hard packed dirt, ground that had not felt rain in long months.
A rich combination of dust, wild sage, and the distant musk of wild
animal filled her nose as she breathed in, thinking of the events of the
past few days that had brought her to just this exact place at this
exact time. As she watched the Milky Way appear in it's pale, swath
across the deepening night sky, she knew she would have to decide.
