Hank sat under the low-hanging metal roof on the side of his porch, his
back pressed against the rounded logs of his cabin. The temperature was
falling fast, and it had started to snow, but he didn’t care. He needed this
time to unwind. He’d been on a four-day shift, working twelve hours on and
twelve hours off. This week’s shift hadn’t been as difficult as some, but it
was no picnic either. They had rescued one fisherman from a leaky boat and
two hikers that had gotten lost in the foothills surrounding Middleton,
Colorado. The town he now called home.
He’d been in Middleton for three years and on the search and rescue
team for the same amount of time. The job had been the reason he’d moved
here. Well, that and the fact that he’d had no place else to go.
He’d mustered out of the military after twenty years of service. Not
because he wanted to. No, a piece of shrapnel had ended his career. He’d
been hit by an IED and survived. If he’d stayed in, he would have been
assigned a desk to ride, and that wasn’t him. He needed to move, to be in
the thick of things. This search and rescue gig was the closest thing he had
found to satisfy that adrenaline junkie part of him.
But this physically challenging job, like the military, took its toll,
forcing a man to find a way to unwind in some form or another. Most of his
colleagues found the company of a woman the balm to their soul. Hank had
too, once upon a time. Now, the few meet-ups he had simply scratched an
itch.
Fortunately, he’d discovered another way to come down from the high
his job demanded thanks to an elderly man he’d met in Germany. Now,
when he needed to get back in touch with the part of his soul that wasn’t
blackened by the things he’d seen and done, he found a quiet spot to work.
Normally, that was his workshop out back.
Today, however, that quiet spot was his front porch, sitting in the cold,
watching the slow falling flakes turn into a full-on blizzard. He was looking
forward to the next three days, even if the weather forecast was calling for
over a foot of snow. His cabin was stocked with plenty of food and he had
enough wood to last the entire winter. A small generator would provide for
the essentials should the electricity go out.
All he had to do now was relax and he had just the formula. In one
hand was a small block of wood. He turned it over and over again, letting
the wood tell him what it would be. In the other hand was a small knife,
whose blade could cut through steel. But it didn’t have to, just the block of
wood.
