The unfinished fence.
From the journal of the Wolf of the North · a work of fiction
Jari had set fence posts all morning and left the final stretch open for one afternoon. That was enough for a herd to enter the yard while his wife and infant were in the garden.
I carried them over the low stone wall, then helped Jari finish his work by lamplight. He apologized for the gap. I said a gap is simply a thing to close, not a thing to be ashamed of.
