Lena didn't believe in grief. She believed in rope, a headlamp, and the fierce, burning love of an older sibling.
The village elder asked what she had done. Lena just looked back at the scar in the earth, now just a hole in the ground, emptied of its mystery.
Lena looked at Theo. His eyes were glazed, but a single tear traced a clean line through the dust on his cheek. He wasn't listening to a story. He was having one stolen.
“You want a story?” she shouted into the humming dark. “Then listen to mine.”
They climbed. The rocks cut Lena’s palms. Theo scrambled behind her, clumsy but alive. When they finally tumbled out onto the grassy lip of the gorge, the afternoon sun was so bright it hurt.
