Rocky mountain peaks glowed lonely and austere under the nearly full moon. But the trail that led to God's Seat, a throne-shaped outcropping high atop Backbone Trail, wound darkly under thick canopies of branches and overhanging boulders. One false step on that narrow path mean a thousand-foot drop and certain death, but the two lone figures walking single file up the trail moved at a heedless pace. The night was still except for the crunch of their footsteps on the sun baked earth; one confident and driving, the other stumbling gracelessly forward, blinded by terror, steps punctuated by weeping, a nearly inaudible murmuring - This can't be happening...can't..no, no, no, no. Please, let me wake up. Please, please. This is just a dream."
