It took a long time, but I'm a thousand pages in. The end is meeting me like a galloping horse!

"The rifle crack, as if to seam the sky, followin after.

It was 10:38 a.m.

End of Part Two"

"Moonlight alone beheld horse and boy and maybe in the end moonlight was who it was for."

"Even worse, the personal scar caused by what was about to transpire would find him relentlessly haunted until one dusk he would abruptly pull over on the side of the road, rush into a farm field, and stab hisself repeatedly in the guts and chest until his blade found the spot that stops a heart.

End of Part One! I love these 3 crazy kids and 4 beautiful horses!
