Millicent glances at a 8X10 photo beside her bed. Her old boyfriend seems to be speaking to her. She just cannot hear the words. All she knows is that the closer she gets to the one year anniversary the worse her dreams get. She sees fissures in the earth, dry lake beds from past era, forbidding snowcapped peaks, and trails that lead higher and higher into the land of lost horizons.
On the anniversary of his death her cat brings her a present from Andrew wrapped up in a box. How could this be? She gazes up into the hills and knows where she must go. Somehow her dead boyfriend is calling to her.
