Lake in the Mountains

Jack and Pike went fishing, under the wide Montana sky.

Pike was a quiet man who loved stories. Jack heard myths of Pike's culture: dancing maidens becoming constellations. Jack related misadventures among the stars: Time Agents, executioners, a wandering Police Box.

As the sun sank over pink Maxfield Parish mountains, their stories became more personal. Pike talked about Henry, his schoolmate. Twenty years of yearning, and Pike still couldn't forget him. Jack told about the lonely god who left him on a Game Station among corpses and Dalek dust.

"Soldier," said Pike.

"Yeah," said Jack.

They sat in comfortable silence.

And for some reason I had it in my mind that you didn't understand fishing, or the outdoors. Wonder why that was! Sorry!

My dear, this was quite perfect. What a delight to read it. Such elegant structure. Yeah, you're good.
