had come here to put his head back on after kissing Mark
Patterson, the man he d rescued from a raping drug
dealer in Peru. And then kissed, like an idiot.
Josh had been straight, or so he d thought, until he d
laid eyes on Mark. Everything he thought he d know
about himself had fallen away at the touch of Mark s lips
on his. Even now he couldn t stop thinking about him.
What the fuck had he been thinking, kissing a guy that
had endured three months of brutal beatings and rapes?
Josh swung the ax low and struck the last blow sending
the white spruce down swiftly. The sweat dripped from
his brow, almost freezing, before rolling down the side of
his face. His eyelashes were white, and he knew it was
time to head back in for a bit.
Josh had been camping out for a while now. It was
relatively peaceful, and no one bothered him except for
the stray fox that would come around and visit during
dinner time. Well, and occasionally his buddy Wayne, the
park ranger. He hadn t dealt with too many bears, but the
Bull Moose was definitely curious about the man in the
small cabin. Josh had a beautiful view of Wonder Lake
and his very own light show at night, there was nothing
like it on God greens earth. The Aurora borealis was a
sight to see, and no one could just say. Yeah, it s cool.
Unless they were an asshole. The green, purple and
orange flowed; suspended in the sky, and Josh always
sat out at night to watch it.
The light was fading fast. The winter months brought
nothing but darkness, as opposed to summer where it
was light all the time. Even at two in the morning it looked
like the sun was just setting during summer. Winter was
what brought some people to their nervous breakdown
point, because at the most, you had maybe a good six
hours of daylight before being plunged into total
darkness. Josh grabbed his shit and made his way back
to the small cabin, dropping firewood on the small rickety
porch in front.
Inside was one room that made up the living room,
kitchen and bedroom. The lone couch pulled out, but
Josh didn t bother. By the time he was done for the day,
he fell on it fully clothed and was out for hours. He threw
some logs on the fire and went about making coffee. A
look at his watch said it was only three in the afternoon.
Damn, and he was already hungry. Sometimes it made
Josh feel like he was in Florida at the retirement home,
because come four in the afternoon it was dark, and he
felt like it was time to make dinner.
Josh s radio piped up and he heard Wayne coming
through loud and clear.
Montgomery?
Josh smiled and picked up the radio, Wayne s voice
always sounded like Hoss from Bonanza.
What s up, ya lily livered chicken? Josh said.
Ah fuck off, just got a call from up the trail. Seems we
got a tourist done got lost along the way. Says he ain t,
but you know how them lower forties are.
Well I reckon I ll go check it out, Hoss. Josh bit back a
laugh as a stream of obscenities came through the radio.
Yee haw. Josh laughed as Wayne told him to shove it
where the sun don t shine. He grabbed his jacket and
gloves. The wind was picking up now and he knew it was
going to be brutal tonight. What kind of idiot walked
around outside in this shit? Oh that s right, he did. Just
because some damn tourist decided to stray off the
beaten path. Somebody was slacking up top, because
there weren t supposed to be any tourists at the lodge
this late in the season, that ended in September and it
was almost Christmas. Fuck.

What the fuck was I thinking? Mark felt the wind
whipping at him and bundled up tighter. Snow was
coming in fast now, and his goggles were fogging up on
the inside. Every breath froze his lungs and hurt like hell.
Mark had put on layer upon layer of clothing, and could
still feel the biting winds chilling him to the bone. His
hand was shaking with the compass in it and he knew he
couldn t stay out much longer. His mind was still working,
and as a doctor he knew even with the layer of clothing,
hypothermia would set in. He could feel beginning, even
now. Mark was tired and he wanted to lie down and
sleep. Every effort to pick up his foot and move it again
felt like someone had attached weights to it.
He dragged himself another ten feet or so before
resting on a tree. Jesus, his body was shaking so bad he
swore he was knocking nonexistent leaves off the tree
above him. It was so pretty out here. Mark sat down and
pulled his knees up to his chest wrapping his arms
around them. He thought he saw a light off in the
distance, and hauled his sore body back up. The only
thing that kept him going was Josh, Josh s face, Josh s
lips& .Josh.
The ground rushed up to meet him, and he lay face [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] - zanotowane.pl
