Well, I must say, I’m very pleased with myself. There were three names carved into that great rock at the stones of home, and I’m quite sure I’ve fulfilled everything I had to do.

I walk down to the river with the Doorman and head upstream to where the names are in the rock. It gets a little rough for the Doorman on the way up, and I look at him, disappointed. “You had to come, didn’t you? I told you it was going to be a hard one for you, but did you listen?”

I’ll just wait here, he replies.

I give him a pat as he lies down and I keep going up the river.

As I climb the large stones, I feel a pride swelling in me. It’s a great feeling to be going there again in victory after the uncertainty of my first visit.

It’s late afternoon but not hot, so I’m barely sweating when my eyes hit the names.

Immediately, I notice there’s something different. They’re the same names, but next to them, there’s also a tick scratched in, obviously for each time I completed what I had to do.

I’m very happy to see the first name.

Thomas O’Reilly. Big tick.

Then Angie Carusso. Another one.

Then…

What?

I look at the stone in disbelief, as the name Gavin Rose is still naked and alone in the tick department.

I stand there with my arm bent around my body, scratching my spine.

“What do I still need to do?” I ask. “Gavin Rose was as complete as they come.”

The answer can’t be far away.
