sun slants over parker mountain; they pull up. the house, once white, is peeling. polyurethane flaps over dark windows. the 1960 red ford pickup sits long frozen in the open barn. rolfe's toyota sits with other cars. wade and rolfe leave margie and pop in the kitchen as they step out back. wade and jill pull up the drive, past margie's car, into the barn. her trunk and two side doors are open. wade stands in snow and sunlight. the entire barn is engulfed in flames. black smoke billows through the clear winter sky. inside glen whitehouse, a pyre, burns.
