I run my fingers over the incised lettering on the sign. At least I think it’s incised lettering. I think it’s a sign. It’s hard to tell if I really have fingers. It’s dark and it’s cold. At the last sign, I thought the number was a nine. If it was, I missed one mile…
“But I know nothing about dam construction!” The exclamation was somewhat exasperated. “Just look at it,” said Geoff. He pointed at the dam which was holding back a small lake in the narrow valley above. Below it, the land spread out fairly quickly into gently rolling farmland.
