Chapter 15 LODGE BUSINESS

“With all the guests gone, I fell into a deep slumber. I woke to a stiff breeze. I stood on the deck with my dogs and watched as the unusual waves gained in size and the moon rose.  The wind whipped and my skin tingled.  A salmon soared from the top of a moonlit wave into the emerald crest of the next. The wave filled with the dark shape of the salmon and I stood astonished as the hot wind whipped my hair. The dogs were not impressed.”

CHAPTER 14 My friend Alex Michelle

Cougar! I went into the tiny generator room, its door facing the bush.  I felt like a canary in a cage. Captured!...

      The next morning Alex came by to check his traps. “What should I do?” “Nothing,” Alex repeated. “If he wants you, he gets you, and there is nothing you can do about it.”  He went on to explain, “It is no good to carry a gun. You’ll never see a cougar.  He will be in a tree hidden. You will not see him until it is too late.”
