Whok just told me, if things get bad, i've got a place that's somewhere they never look.

where's that, whok?

it's north of the panhandles. if times get rough, you load up some water and guns and drive.

but what if my truck breaks down somewhere in the canyonlands, whok?

then i'll find you and bring you back.

but what if you're not there in time?

then i'll give your corpse the proper honors, and a tomb the spirits can enter.

even the malign ones, whok?

whok just laughed. said it ain't like that after you cross on. that you see 20 things at once and hear the gears inside a stopped watch even when they ain't moving, because presence is motion.

that's when i stopped fearing.

and when the time came to drive out to whok's place, i didn't take the quick route. i took the one that brings you back to the last skies your ancestors saw before their own crossing.

and that's how i finally found whok.
