    But there’s something about Watonka, they say. Something that pulls us back, the electromagnet that holds all the metal in place.

    ...the land is moody, waiting.Den turns around and looks at his father who leans into the bike, leans into a long drag on his cigarette, leans into a thought not ready for words. The man is so familiar. They should be at home by now. They should be sitting at the dinner table. This familiarity is deeper than the desert, longer than the miles they’ve traveled. It confuses Dennis.What is the source of this sadness?It’s time to go home. Den holds the camera steady.
