"The night was still. My fire flickered against the boulders, and the stars were very bright. Somewhere a stone rattled, fell, then hit another rock much further down. I was carrying a ground sheet and one blanket. Near the fire was a stretch of sand, and I smoothed it before spreading my bed. A blanket around my shoulders, I added cedar to the fire and finished my second cup of coffee. Far away a meteor streaked across the sky, flared briefly, and vanished."--Louis L'Amour from Frontier.
