Alpine Lake i got all kinds of crazy in me

changes to scent. the sick thought he'd found.
but what did he fuckin' know?
colt wasn't cut out to be no pa.
so he chose to ignore all of it and instead grunted for sadey to go with lonesome. "if she's sick she'll need protection," he decided. "when she comes out of it, we kin really settle."
there was no other options. womenfolk were touched in the mind this time of year, and colt would still seek to feed them both while he could.
