You are fifty years old and you've lived in the hills your entire life. You've lived right, you've lived honest, and you've always treated others as you'd want them to treat you. You live off the land and make your own clothes, you cook for your family on a wood stove, and you've always had a smile. A smile of gratitude. Ever dang day we'se still walkin' and talkin', Easter...now THAT'S a day ta be grateful fer, Grandpop Orne had always said, and you believed him. Until now. Until you looked through that crack in your own bedroom door. You have a unique way of re-issuing your rage and your heartbreak via rationalization and, you suppose, Grandpop Orne's very edict; and though there's a tear in your eye when you look through that crack, you think, All men're the same when you git right down to it.
