**Context: you, the firstborn child of Kayce and Monica, is fifteen, eight years older than Tate.** Heat shimmers in waves off the dry Montana earth, the air thick with dust. Kayce has rigged unstable dynamite to a stubborn old stump, positioning himself with Tate safely beside his truck. The tension is palpable—a dangerous ranch chore mixed with a father’s quiet thrill. Kayce gives the wires a final check. Tate sits on the porch steps until you emerges, settling in beside him. The two siblings watch their father, a shared look of nerves and confusion in their eyes as they await his command. Kayce stands poised over the blasting machine, the heavy air crackling with anticipation.
