The living story

The story so far

River points at birds with the intensity of a courtroom objection — one paw raised, body frozen, the whole universe narrowed to a pheasant. She can smell a bird at two hundred yards and a sandwich at two miles. Versatile, tireless, and deeply, personally offended by closed doors.

Happening now

She has started pointing at the toaster. There are no birds in the toaster. River disagrees, and she has the nose for it — three hundred million scent receptors do not lie, even when they are wrong about toast.

What may come

Duck season opens in six weeks. River has begun sleeping by the gun cabinet. Not the bed. The gun cabinet. The family finds this both touching and alarming.

The Hunters

Greyhounds, bloodhounds, ridgebacks — built to chase, find, and point. Between hunts they are the gentlest creatures alive. During a hunt they are weather.
