Ice
We stopped by a lake. Saw the sky stratified in blues, greys, and white. Felt frosty air thicken.
“She’s golden,” Sonny said as he watched the leader dog devour caribou. “Saved me from drowning through ice.”
I closed the thermos emptied of coffee, positioned myself on the sled. Sonny yelled out a command. The team of six malamutes sprung us forward.
“Reckon we can make two miles before nightfall,” he said. “Set up camp.”
“What’s over there?” I asked.
“Remnants of igloos.”
More commands. Our sled slid faster. Ice crackling beneath us.
Night approached with spirits of the past watching.
