everyone gathered to watch the world go dark. served

cheeses and homemade preserves. talked about the

light, the way it slid among the trees, an

infiltrator, the king of shadows come too early.

perhaps the greatest wonder was less the

sun's coy dance with daylight, and more the fact that

everyone drew the light back in a single sigh of awe. maybe relief.
