Their were light green aspens and dark green deciduous, multi color ponderosa pine. While the wind blew and the sounds of tree limbs wiped back and forth in the gust, I just stood their and breathed in the cold, crisp air and hoped this place wasn't as bad as I had been imagining it would be.

My parents bought 22 acres of land on a hill called “wolf camp” My new home. The road of wolf camp is a right turn off highway 21, and 3 miles up of twists and turns, unfilled potholes, and tons of dust.

Dusk had come, silent, ceremonious, which brought her painful but pleasant memories in the diminishing light. Her shaking hands and arthritic fingers from the passing of time were holding the record player’s metal arm. The stylus hopped, moving lightly and quickly over damaged grooves from excessive use, landing very deep in the vinyl recording. She attempted again, one of her hands embracing the other, to the point where the overture’s rewarding hop and crepitation signified the precise spot. The incongruous speakers passed a faint melody of music.
