The Camp
Sean Pravica

Morning. Shadows shifting glacially against the rock face beyond his camp. The wind breaking against his jacket, whipping his tarp. The fire burning, a crackle like footsteps over broken earth.

A couple passed. They looked at him but he did not return their attention. 

Each day farther, closer, to home.
