"Night in the mountains is altogether different.  Dusk seems to play out longer.  Then, there's a moment just after the sky turns purple that you could swear it's getting brighter -- like the sun is about to reverse course. 

Just remember that night touches the land long before it reaches the sky.  When the trees turn dark, it's time to head home."

"My grandmother used to tell me stories of places in the mountains where you could 'cross.'  I never quite understood what she meant, and she never explained. 

She just told me that they were beautiful, but if I stayed there past dusk, I'd never come home."
