A map drawn in flour.
From the journal of the Wolf of the North · a work of fiction
The baker drew the route to the Olsen farm in flour on his counter. A herd blocked their lower lane, and the family needed to bring their grandmother down for medicine.
I took the narrow upper track, carried her chair over a fallen wall, and returned before the flour map had been wiped away. The baker packed rolls for the journey home. We ate them on the upper track.
