Essay for the Wastelands catalog
by Renée Chabria
When he left the small mining town in northern Colorado, he vowed to himself that he would never love again. Nadine was the only one who would know the secrets of his heart and any other woman who tried to love him would pay the price of the anguish he felt after loosing her. There was just no way around it—she was too god dam good to die but she did, one December night as they were returning home from a Christmas party. The road was slick and a semi truck tried to overtake a slow moving trailer—hit them head on. Simple—he made it out and she didn’t. It should have been him. He played the scene over and over in his head for months and could not understand why it had gone the way that it did. God always takes the good ones away.
After a year of wandering through a series of uneventful days that faded into lonely and desolate nights, he slowly awoke from his sleep. He looked around at the town that he grew up in and nothing looked the same. He felt an alarming detachment. He wanted to scream but nothing would come out. Instead he screamed inside and it echoed for days, swirling around in the vast emptiness inside. Then he did the only thing he could think of which was grab some clothes, a fifth of whiskey and his pistol. He gassed up his car and headed south for days…mountains giving way to valleys and finally exhausting themselves into the endless sea of the desert.
For the first time since the accident, he finally felt some peace.
He camped and hunted and regained some sense of the Randy that he once knew. It was a good thing too because any further toward the brink of darkness that was pulling him under and he might never have made it back…at least not whole.
One morning he decided to wander into the valley that was a couple of towns over. It was cool there, he imagined... and green, a nice change from the heat and sand. He loaded up his gear and started to drive... and when he reached the valley he was surprised. He never imagined that there could be so much color and life only a few miles away. He started to walk, unaware of himself. Unaware of time... just walking.
Underneath a big pine, he stopped to take a drink. As he lowered the bottle, he thought he saw the diaphanous shape of a girl disappear into the trees in front of him. He squinted and looked hard. Nothing. He decided that he’d been alone too long and was starting to see things. Then he saw her again. She cautiously stepped out of the woods and stood there, alongside a big oak—thin as a rail and hair all tangled and wild, wearing the slightest slip of a dress. He stood to get a better look and in response to his movement, she looked as though she might bolt. Instead, she stood her ground and seemed to gather her resolve looking him straight in the eye. It was more than he could understand. He had no recollection of how he ended up standing in front of her. He picked her up in his arms and carried her over to his car. He looked in her eyes for a moment and then made love to her in both violent and tender gestures and with an intensity that he did not recognize in himself.
When it was over, she merely curled up in his arms and they stared at the stars as they began to dot the sky, never saying a word. That was how they became lovers, sharing something that words never needed to justify.
