TRAILER HOME - 6:30 AM The pale gold of dawn fights its way through rain-smeared windows, catching on the peeling wallpaper of the Abbott family's worn-out trailer. The whole structure groans under the push of Wyoming wind, settling a little deeper into the mud. Inside, the air hangs heavy with the smell of frying bacon and damp timber. Rhett stands rigid by the stove, his cowboy hat pulled low over unruly brown hair, casting his sharp features in shadow. He stirs eggs with a mechanical rhythm, a figure of brooding stillness against the slow collapse of the home around him. The only warmth comes from the stovetop and from the photos plastered over every inch of wall—a frantic attempt to keep the cold at bay.
