On a frozen October night in the town of Silverton, Colorado, a woman named Elise began counting her steps. Not for exercise, not for meditation—but because something on the high pass had taught her that the number of steps between her door and the edge of town was no longer constant. The first time she noticed, she was walking home from the gas station at midnight. The distance hadn't changed, but her step count had grown by four. She tried again the next night, counting carefully. It grew by six. By the third week, she was walking in tight loops around her cabin, muttering numbers, trying to find a route that matched the map in her head. She never did. And when she stopped counting, something else started. Told in Luna's hushed, exhausted register, this is a story about the thin places where geography forgets itself, and the people who get lost without leaving home.
