I thought I knew every inch of Black Peak, until a lantern‑bright glow appeared in the fog and began moving toward me, like it had been waiting. This is the one hike I can’t explain away. I’d spent years on those mountains, confident, experienced, unshakeable. But the day the fog rolled in, I saw a warm, amber light drifting through the trees, too steady to be a reflection, and too old‑fashioned to be a headlamp. I followed it at first, thinking it was another hiker. Then it stopped responding to my calls. Then it circled me. Silently. Perfectly. Like it wasn’t being carried at all. This is the closest I’ve ever come to believing the mountains hold something older than us.
