Quote by Laurel Flores Fantauzzo

“You had a spirit in you also,” the healer goes on. “It was a strong spirit. Greedy. Selfish. It took your energy, took up too much space everywhere inside you. You had to feed it, always. It was hungry. But recently the spirit left you, and now you’re weak. It was holding you up. Now you have to hold yourself up. Your body must learn again, to live without it.”

“There was no solace in the openness of the land, just as there was no healing in the isolation he sought in the barren plain of winter-killed grasses. The prairie seemed nothing more than an extension of the boundless emptiness that had opened inside him. Neither his mount nor his packhorse seemed a companion—but victims of his own aimlessness. The voiceless plain only provided a silent space for his demons to follow and murmur in his ear. Rilla’s bloodied body shadowed him as vividly as if dragged behind his horse on a travois, scraping a scar across the dry land. The child was not real. There were no memories attached to a nameless son to haunt him, save the mental picture of that inanimate thing tucked against its dead mother’s ribs. The child had seemed more an extension of Rilla’s suffering, giving her death a measurable size and shape. Mother and son comprised a common image rendered in scarlet, and the image had been painted on a permanent altar inside Wyatt’s mind.”
