Last year had been a late spring, the slightest thaw, and the coldest summer, It had snowed in September. And kept on snowing. This year, more For Sale signs had appeared in the windows of shops in town. More of the windows of houses were dark or broken: dingy, one-or-two-roomed shacks. Plastic sheeting ballooned out of doorways, porches sagged into rot. Every house still occupied had a fire going, smoke chugging from the chimney. There were no children playing in the yards.

>Fundamentalist cults & predatory men
>Weed growing & seed cultivation
>Temporary allies of outcasts
>Thought-provoking. Icy. Relentless determination.
