She gave me a shove and I was skiing down the mountain. The gusty wind was pushing against my body the whole way down. I felt like I was going to mess up somewhere and injure myself.

As the man walks along the trail, he looks up to see the “dust-broom winds and night skies that burn with the milk-glow of more stars than [he has] ever seen”(Fedarko).
