Just thought I would tell those interested that i have another chapter up on my story. Here's a teaser from the chapter, followed by a link.
The team came up behind Kodi and stopped just as he had, gasping for breath, and looking like weary travelers in the desert when they first spotted water. Their traces fell to the snow with a clink of ice covered iron, and their eyes scoped the town hungrily. Food, water, rest, relaxation, all of it right there within reach.
Mr. Simpson stepped off the sled and looked south where the light of the day began to drain quickly away. He was really late and he knew it. His eyes drifted through the fur-lined hole to Kodi. Something was wrong with that dog, something had gotten into him, or gotten on his mind, and now Kodi didn’t seem to know which way was up. Mr. Simpson looked at Ralph, at least Ralph wouldn’t get lost on the next run. “Come on boys and girl. Let’s get down there and get some rest.” Mr. Simpson urged on, stepping back onto the sled and giving it a good heave with his right boot.
Kodi stepped forward and his traces pulled the rest of the team towards Nome. They began to pick up the pace as they started the last downhill run before Nome. Plowing through the snow, Kodi pushed on.
For a while Mr. Simpson thought he could feel the old vinegar of life in his dogs as the sled sliced through the snow. Maybe Kodi just wanted to stay in Nome? Mr. Simpson thought. Maybe there’s something he didn’t quite want to leave behind yesterday? Of course, only half of what Mr. Simpson was thinking was true.
Here's the Link for those interested in reading more. Please review.
