Silence filled the area.

The world was holding its breath.

A bird took flight from a nearby tree.

A rabbit hopped out from beneath a bush.

An eagle circled in the sky above.

And the sun continued its downward descent into the western horizon, guiding a lost soul home.

Epilogue

Rusty Pope went into labor on the first day of February, subsequently giving birth to a nine-pound, six-ounce baby boy with a thatch of straight black hair and eyes the color of a hot summer sky. He was screaming bloody murder as his father held him, laughing from the pure joy of having the child in his arms.

Another generation of Popes was in the making.
