Summary
He could hear the faint sounds of wildlife as the sun sank closer to the place it went to be cinders; hoots and howls and the melody of nighttime insects.
It brought some comfort.

Summary
After over a century of harsh living, Keith has finally carved out his own quiet corner of the world in the desert town of Arrowhead. He has his repair shop, and his apartment. He has Rolo and Nyma, two ex-cons and almost friends, to keep him company. He’s content, if not exactly happy.
When an attack by a seemingly rabid Carpathian brings hunters into town, Keith knows that the best course of action is to just leave. But for the first time in a long time he has something he wants to keep, something he’s made with his own two hands; something he’s proud of.
So he stays. He watches and he waits. And when he runs into a man with white hair and kind eyes he can’t help but think he made the right choice.
