Try as he might, sleep wouldn’t take no for an answer forever. It hadn’t crept up on him or drifted over him but had clubbed him over the head. Or maybe, he thought as Sincie carefully picked her way down the slopes, it was like Curt had mentioned once about surgery he’d had years ago: no drowsiness, just looking up at the doctor one minute and

talkstocoyotes,
I really love your story and am looking forward to new postings. I love your metaphysical 'twist.' Very believable and loving. Another 'twist' - Jack telling Ennis go let go & go out in the world instead of keeping Ennis for himself. More please.

God I cant stop bawling. I was reading the last three chapters with my wife in the room and I had to stop and go for a walk. You are so true to Ennis and Jack personalities. Jack telling Ennis to get on with his life just kicked me in the balls. My personality has so many parallels with Ennis. Yet I know I must get on with my life too. I have written a readers digest version of my autobiography and put it on my journal. I already have you as my friend but you must friend me to be able to read it. I just don't want my life story to be on the street for public consumption.

Hope you write again soon.

"Dancing on Jack's grave" ? hehehehe. Do only you and I get that joke I wonder?

Excellent, just... excellent. It is very satisfying to read something that has a true mystical element to it... I think you may be the first to do it in this fandom! congratulations!

Awww, now would I make a reference like that?

You bet!

On the drive back to Riverton, Ennis stopped at the crest of the hill where, approaching the mountain on the drive from Riverton, he could first get a clear look at it. Pulling the truck over into a turnout, he sat for almost an hour, looking at the mountain’s twin peaks for what he knew was the last time. He would never again go to Brokeback in this life, not until someone took his own ashes to scatter.

Oh my. But...he needed to go back this one time, no matter what would have happened whilst he was up there. Had to move through his own hallways closing doors behind him and opening new ones in front. Another step.

When he got back, he resolved to put that in writing, so that when his time came no one would wonder whether it was a real place.

Oh this makes me ache so much for Jack...that it was all he wanted and his life was so isolated that no one but Ennis, who wasn't there, knew anything of the real Jack.
