The Solider & His Blind Reader
Prologue
Lara Young(FL)
I was born into darkness , Just like a puppy , only my darkness is eternal .
Lara Young(FL)
Everyone else sees a world I can only imagine .
Lara Young(FL)
But hey , don't pity me .
Lara Young(FL)
I've got a lot of imagination , and I've made my world beautiful more beautiful that you can know .
Lara Young(FL)
When I was a small child , my mother said I used to run into furniture , and if I was not too badly hurt , I'd get back up and continue running down the same path .
Lara Young(FL)
When I grew older I understood that the world is not built for blind people .
Lara Young(FL)
I needed a white cane and I needed to trust my bestie , Elaine , and jump when she yelled , " Puddle " .
Lara Young(FL)
Sometimes , just for the fun of it , she'd yell puddle and there would be no puddle , but generally our system worked well .
Lara Young(FL)
Now , I'm all grown up and she tells me that the most mysterious man in Durango Falls has stuck a job vacancy on her noticeboard and that I should apply for it .
Lara Young(FL)
Apparently Kit Carson needs a blind reader .
Lara Young(FL)
To be honest it sounds a bit like those times she yelled puddle and there was no puddle .
Lara Young(FL)
But what the hell ? I'll give her a laugh and jump once again .
Lara Young(FL)
This is the story of what happened when I jumped .
Kit Carson(ML)
I came to Durango Falls because it was the perfect place to hide .
Kit Carson(ML)
The townsfolk here don't like strangers and I don't like people .
Kit Carson(ML)
So I don't talk to no one and no one talks to me .
Kit Carson(ML)
Suits me just fine .
Kit Carson(ML)
For five years now I've been living alone at the edge of this forest .
Kit Carson(ML)
Just me and the wolves I've adopted .
Kit Carson(ML)
But this winter my soul has started hankering for something more.
Kit Carson(ML)
I know it's sure as hell ain't for the warmth of a woman's body .
Kit Carson(ML)
I'm done with that .
Kit Carson(ML)
The military made me into a f ** kin ' monster and I wouldn't put any woman through that . Not even a whòre .
Kit Carson(ML)
Maybe I'm just hankering for a woman's sweet voice reading to me the way my mother used to when I was five . Just before she died .
Kit Carson(ML)
Think I'll advertise for a blind reader .
Kit Carson(ML)
A female blind reader .
Kit Carson(ML)
That's what I thought I wanted .
Kit Carson(ML)
Well all that shit went out the window when I laid eyes on her .
Kit Carson(ML)
Now this woman's body is all I can think about .

Ch 1
I pushed open the heavy wooden door of Durango Falls ' library
I Stepped into the still , hushed space .
Other than my sculpting studio , this was without a doubt my favorite place .
I came here almost every day .
I think I loved the smell of old books mixed with pine floor cleaner and the lovely echo inside mostly empty , large stone buildings .
At this time of day there was usually no one around .
I shook the snow off my cap , peeled my thick gloves off , and stuffed them into my coat pockets .
Swiping my white cane in smooth arcs in front of me , I took the twelve steps to the front desk .
Hannah Heinberger was usually on duty on Wednesday afternoons
But from her perfume , sage and roses , I knew that Elaine was manning the desk today .
They must have swapped shifts .
Lara Young(FL)
Hey , Elaine
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
Ooo ... just the person I wanted to see
I could tell immediately that she was bursting with some piece of juicy gossip .
It was funny how Elaine could always find salacious rumors in a town with a population of less than a thousand .
Notorious gossip or not , she had a heart of gold and I could not remember a time when we were not best friends .
Whatever the news was it had Elaine all fired up .
She was almost bubbling over with excitement .
Lara Young(FL)
What is it ?
She leaned forward , disturbing the air .
Her breath , she's been eating peanut butter cookies , was warm on my cold cheeks .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
You'll never guess who came in here this morning .
I kept my face straight .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
Fine . I just won't tell you , and you'll just miss the juiciest piece of information this town has heard in twenty years
She huffed , irritated that I had spoilt her surprise .
I mean , who could she come up with better than Beyonce ?
Lara Young(FL)
( Grinned )
Lara Young(FL)
Fine . I'm sure I'll hear from Emma Jean .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
I haven't told her yet
Lara Young(FL)
Elaine Crockett , I might miss the juiciest piece of information this town has heard in twenty years if you don't tell me , but you're going to burst if you don't spill the beans .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
Kit Carson
Lara Young(FL)
Kit Carson . ( surprised )
Well , well , this time she did have a juicy bit between her teeth .
Every small town had a loner , a mysterious , gruff , elusive , anti - social person who refused to be part of the community .
Kit Carson was this town's ghost .
Ch 2
Kit Carson was this town's ghost .
He lived on a large track of wooded land that he had converted into some kind of wolf sanctuary .
Occasionally , he would drive into town in his pickup truck , but he wouldn't make eye - contact or speak to anyone .
I heard he was a hulk : six feet seven inches tall and as solid as a brick house
But that he walked with a slight limp and had a scarred face that nobody actually got a good look at .
Funny thing about Kit Carson was he'd turned the tables on our tiny town .
We didn't take kindly to outside folk .
You could live within our midst for fifty years and still be considered an outsider .
Kit Carson was not born and raised local , and coming on his own like that without knowing a soul in our town , he was just plain asking for trouble .
He came to Durango Falls when I was about seventeen years old
And I would be twenty - two in July .
So he'd been around for five years now
And even though our men folk have tried to extend the hand of friendship to him , he outright refused to have anything to do with us except for the commercial kind .
Two years ago Casey Goodnight said she saw dog tags peep out of his shirt while he was paying for steel cables at the hardware store .
Yes sir , that sure gave the whole town something to gossip about .
Coffee mornings weren't the same for weeks after .
With falsely sweet voices the good town folk picked apart the man's " secret " .
Obviously , he had been dishonorably discharged from the army , and it was pure shame that made him avoid contact with the rest of humanity
Naturally , he had no wife
Although , with time that last piece of gossip morphed to - he murdered her .
People said they heard the wolves howling on full moon nights while they were passing at the edge of his land .
The stories about him got weirder and weirder .
Some of them were downright crazy . Like Serial killer stuff .
I guess we had some very bored folk in our town and they made up their own entertainment .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
Yup
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
The man strode in here this morning bigger than a tree , stuck up a piece of paper on the Job's Board , and left . Not a word to anyone .
Lara Young(FL)
Wow . ( whispered )
Lara Young(FL)
What's he looking for ?
I thought she would say foreman , or housekeeper .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
( Took a deep breath )
I was Intrigued by the mystery of it all .
Elaine Crockett (FL BF)
