The mist hasn’t lifted yet. It clings to the tree line at Weehawken like it knows what’s coming — like the morning itself is holding its breath.
The birch trees stand as silent witnesses, their pale bark catching the first grey light of dawn. Beneath your boots, the earth is damp and cold. Your second checks his watch. No one speaks.
Then — the sharp bite of black pepper on the air. A flint struck. A heartbeat mistaken for a pistol’s click. Every nerve alive.
And underneath it all, the deep, inevitable warmth of tonka and charcoal: the scent of wood smoke from a fire gone cold the night before, of ink dried on a letter that can no longer be unsent.
Ten paces. Turn.
Some stories end here. Some begin.
