A story of death and birth

Throughout the years, mountains have formed a backdrop to the narrative of Kate's life. That narrative has paused several times - on the death of her father, on the death of her husband, and in the stillness of the Coronavirus lockdown. But her narrative has also resumed from those pauses - with a pregnancy and the birth of a son, with the realisation that the universe is neither malevolent or benevolent, and with musing, against the backdrop of the Colorado mountains, about how the story will continue.
