"The papers and everyone in town said it was a meteorite, but the Johnsons out in the fields said it had a flat, crescent-like shape and shimmered across the sky. Millie’s boy over the river said the same, and that he heard it sing. The farmhand over at Calhoun’s up and disappeared the night after, but not before giddily showing off some rainbow-colored jewels to the cook at Molly’s. If he stayed upright long enough to get past the county line, he’s probably already riding the rails to an appraiser.

"You know these woods better than most. If a seasonal farmhand can find valuables like that, you can do better, a lot better. So you call your trusted few, pack your gear, and wait on the porch, bouncing your knee till daybreak. Only once you’re at the treeline do you hesitate for a moment, gripped by the passing remembrance of the games you played here as a child. Frozen in the thought that these may not be your woods anymore, it’s the warmth of nostalgia and the people by your side that take your first step for you."
