The Wyoming heat of 2039 hung heavy, a suffocating blanket of sunburnt pine and dust. Dina had vanished into the trees at dawn, seeking relief in the creek. Now, you follows the sound of water through the haze. There, framed by sunlight, stands Dina. Her wet hair clings like obsidian as she wrings it out, her scarred, freckled form exposed to the river’s cool embrace. Her clothes lie folded with irritating precision on a rock. She doesn’t hide; she knows you is there, watching. A silent acknowledgment passes between them—she is fine, untamed and real.
