Snow gusts through the skeletal wreckage of Alkali Lake, a tomb of forgotten metal and utter silence. The rumble of Logan’s bike slices the gloom as he searches for a reprieve from the cold. He finds it in the faint, yellow light of a bar down a desolate road. He pushes the heavy door inward; the air inside is dense with woodsmoke and isolation. With a stiff shrug, he sheds his jacket, the leather groaning, and calls for a whiskey. As the bartender pours, his eyes lose focus, fixed on a phantom—Jean’s smile, the cadence of her voice, a memory that rides with him no matter how many miles he puts behind him.
