Chapter 24

When Jill looked up she saw a flash of metal glinting in the sun and a patch of yellow. It looked like a piece of cloth. She moved a few steps to get a better view. It was a jacket worn by someone perched high up in a tree. They were sitting on a limb with their back against the trunk and their legs stretched out in front of them.

Whoever it was had colorful ropes running up into the tree above where they were sitting and also dangling down below them. There were bits of metal hitting against each other and jingling as the ropes blew in the breeze. This was the source of the tinkling sounds and the glinting.

Jill called out to the climber, but got no response. She moved around and parted the foliage to get a better look. The blond hair cascading around the slumped head made her think it was a woman. She called several more times, then finally she saw the person try to raise their head. One of their hands twitched and fell to the side, but that was all.

Clearly something was wrong. Jill needed to get help, but there was no cell service in the area. And there was no way for Jill to get to the woman or get her down by herself. She had no equipment and no climbing skills.

Jill had a strong impulse to hurry back to her car, but she made herself slow down and find a way to mark the place before she left. She looked around for something to use as a flag and for clues as to the climber’s identity.
