Campfire and pine trees in a circle

Fine line · Black and grey · Flash

A circular frame holds a wooded camp scene: a row of pine trees of varying heights, a tent on a flat horizon line, and a campfire with curling smoke. Birds fly in the sky above the trees. The linework is fine and dark, with soft grey wash shading behind the trees and the sky.

The last northbound was forty minutes late, and Ruth Calloway had folded the timetable twice before the lamp at the end of platform two finally swung green. She counted the carriages out of habit. Three, then the guard's van, then nothing. Only one passenger stepped down, a man with a rolled canvas bundle strapped to his rucksack, who stood under the canopy as though he had forgotten what a platform was for.

"Last stop for the pines," she said, because someone had to say something. He asked whether the path to the lower loch still ran past the old quarry. It did, she told him, though the quarry had filled with birch and the water was lower than it used to be. He nodded as if she had handed him a map. When he shifted his weight, she heard a tin of matches rattle in his coat pocket.

"My father lit a fire at the water's edge every October," he said. "Said the smoke kept the gangers honest." He glanced at the clock above the ticket hatch, then at the dark beyond the sidings, where the hills were a row of black teeth against a sky still faintly blue. Ruth waited for him to ask for a single to somewhere, but he only tapped the bundle and said he would walk the rest.

He went out through the gate without a ticket, and she watched him cross the car park and climb the stile towards the trees. Above the highest pines a thin grey thread of smoke rose and bent in the wind, then another, and then she could not tell whether she was seeing smoke or only the cold air moving over the hill. Ruth pulled the hatch shut, filled the kettle at the tap, and found she had already decided to take the Saturday off.
