Snow, Battleships, and a Faceplant for Christmas

Christmas in Eau Claire has finally started to feel normal again—right as winter reminded me how brutal it can be. Between snow that turns the city into planet Hoth, driving my wheelchair in traffic to avoid ice, a faceplant off a curb while carrying beer, and watching the news roll out battleships, ballrooms, and vanity projects, this feels like the perfect end-of-year snapshot.

He’s close now. And if the roads still follow the old maps, Viroqua waits just over the ridge.

Signal Drift: Chapter 6

Signal Drift: Chapter 6

Cronauer strung a short antenna wire into a tree, hands steady despite the chill. The rig crackled softly—static, static, then a voice.
