“Junior finds what he’s seeking in a swale between two ridges. He glasses down at the elk from a hillside aflame with autumn color. The animal strides through the clearing about five hundred yards due east, dipping its head now and then to nibble on receding grass that soon will disappear for the winter.”

“In the years that followed, Tsula would find that she could not recall that walk to the edge or the thrust of her legs into the air.
