The river arrived in early spring. Only a thin trickle at first, meandering across the plains from the northern hills it chose a course along a gully on the town's eastern front.
Ours was a dry and dusty land. There was little that grew or thrived here, little to recommend it beyond its quiet isolation. Founded in the middle of nowhere for no reason anyone could remember, ours was a town that seemed destined to die likewise, a way station on the way to nothing in particular.
