Dated November 21, 2011:
I crest that last hill, but instead of heading toward the house, I sit down on an outcropping of rocks with a view of the valley below. It is a gorgeous spot, probably the best view on the whole goddamn island. It's mid-afternoon by now, breezy up here with the air noticeably thinner than down in the jungle. I light up a cigarette, and looking out into the distance, I enjoy those few moments where I don't really have to think about anything at all.
On his wedding anniversary, Neil decides he'd rather not spend the day alone.
