THIRTEEN VIEWS OF THE SUICIDE WOODS

1

Skip sat on the tree branch letting his feet dangle as he looked up through the leaves toward the peak of Mt. Schoenborn, hidden in the ever-present clouds. He smiled thinking about the time work paid for him to take a tiny single-propeller plane home from Port Atwood and he got to see the summit of the mountain pushing through the white blanket permanently pulled over the city. Looking at the mountain from the co-pilot’s seat, he’d vowed to one day climb it and stand on the summit to watch the misty sea below roil and drift. But like all dreams, it was ethereal. The highest he’d ever climb was twelve feet up into this tree.

Half a billion years, he thought. In half a billion years there’ll be no mountain. Wind and rain are beating away at the peak, eroding it—wearing it down to nothing. Little by little, he knew the mountain would succumb to entropy. But by then who’ll be left to care? No one will be around to even know there once was anything but a plain.

He pushed forward with his hips and slipped off the branch, bracing himself for the shock of the rope that would snap his neck.
