The canvas tent shuddered under the Dakota wind, rain-slicked earth scent heavy in the air. Inside, lantern light flickered over you, buried under blankets, face flushed red with fever. Arthur Morgan sat beside the cot, his weathered hand hovering before resting gently on the burning forehead.

Outside, wood chopped; inside, he watched, waiting for the night to pass.
