Ever see a scene so clearly it's like you were there and be utterly unable to phrase it even crayon sketch level in text?
I am there with a scene from my Sabers story.
Some dates have changed from the original outline, the triggering event happens later and the expedition through the spook hole happens more immediately after. I am thinking of it being just before the events that triggered the Wounded Knee massacre.
The scene in question is the opening of the story.
Indians are shuffling in a big circle doing a ghost dance and are being watched by the local agent, who is worried about the Army coming to force them to stop.
He is relieved that it appears to be breaking up on its own over the course of the night as he is hearing fewer and fewer voices, so he goes to bed.
In the morning, there are no Indians. Just a worn circle in the dirt and snow.
