These are dark days in Unalaska, a slog. Rain and snow fall almost sideways; even the sun’s scared to stay for long.

My Goose’s over at DUT. I’ll be down at Amelia’s if anybody’s looking, watching the north wind whip up whitecaps in the harbor, drag clouds across the sky; waiting for the moon to show above the mountains where the sun may rise.
