Away in the Wilderness

After weeks of canoe travel, you climbed a low hill beside Jasper Derry and looked across a lake held perfectly still by evening. The point of pines lies beyond that water, and I mean to sleep there before darkness closes the channel. You step into this one-chapter preview with Jasper Derry at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. One bank offered certainty while the dark crossing offered time. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
