The miles of bristling pines broke at once, revealing a large swath of Clearwater. Alex, now returned with a wrist kissed by a razor’s edge and an open diploma case, which rode shotgun. The opportunity for a beautiful death had passed, now the persistent realization that life was to drag itself further along, while Alex had neither the strength, nor the desire to continue the fight. Drugs brought respite, but the truth of herself lingered in her throat like a pill too large to swallow. Old friendships collide with inevitable change as Alex confronts her childhood.
