No one waited for the fuel. He blinked, then laughed—but not aloud. A sound that settled in the bone. His back still bore the house’s weight. Still no one waited. He locked the door, its oak worn smooth. And taped a note: It held me well. No one would read it. That was fine. The walls let go a cedar smell. He stepped outside. Lumen waited. Her solar caught the morning’s arc. He brushed her screen. A breath of light. He wouldn’t wait, either. No voice. No route. Just Lumen’s glow. Her cooler hummed, the morning breathed. A spark inside, too faint to name. The gate swung wide. A hawk cut sharp. Not ready— but the road was here.
