Waking up and having no idea where
you are or your own name is not a good thing. At least folks found him at the
R-Bar ranch and brought him into the small cabin three days ago. He’d been
found up by the high meadow after a storm. Who he is and why he was there are
just two of the many questions at work in this short story.
The ranch is run by teens and their
far younger siblings after the death of their parents. Fever took them last
winter, as it did many others, in the area. The twins are 8 and supervised by Addie
who is almost 17 and her brother Heath, 18. Heath is the one who found the unconscious
stranger and brought him to the cabin. The Rudisels are holding their own
despite the efforts of nature and man to boot them off the land. With no idea
who he is or where he should go, it becomes natural for the stranger to stay
and get involved in their struggle in High Meadow Storm by Wayne D.
Dundee.
As is frequently the case in Mr.
Dundee’s westerns a major mystery is at work in this story. In fact, there are
several mysteries in play in this enjoyable tale. Nominated for the 2016
Peacemaker Awards of the Western Fictioneers this tale that was originally published
in Protectors
2: Heroes-Stories To Benefit Protect is now available as a standalone
read. High Meadow Storm is also mighty good read as one would expect from
Wayne D. Dundee.
