"C" is crawling

"There were only the two of them on the mountain, flying in the euphoric, bitter air, looking down on the hawk's back and the crawling lights of vehicles on the plain below, suspended above ordinary affairs and distant from tame ranch dogs barking in the dark hours."  [story]

Jack and Lureen Twist were dressed to the nines when they met the Malones on the way to the Childress Children's Benefit Dance.

"E" is electrocution

Them poor forty-two sheep were killed by electrocution.  Ennis was not electrocuted, however, 'cuz he didn't take that job at the power company.

"F" is fixing

Alma was so busy fixing dinner that she didn't notice Ennis's reaction to the initial postcard from Jack.

"G" is gamiest

Jack told Ennis about 42 of the gamiest sheep - zapped by lightning and rotting up on Brokeback in 1962.

"H" is horrifying

Jack's story about the lightning-struck sheep was horrifying to Ennis; Ennis makes a face that says as much.

"Hired to watch sheep in their summer range on Brokeback Mountain, slowly but inevitably Ennis and Jack find one thing leads to another."

Death by lightning is one of the jeopardies that Jack tells Ennis about.

"K" is killings'
« Reply #9758 on: December 27, 2006, 03:08:31 pm »
Forty-two sheep had been killed by lightning the previous summer.  Jack readily told Ennis about the killings' effect on him:  he thought he'd asphyxiate from the smell.

"You wasn't paid to let the dogs babysit the sheep while you stemmed the rose," Aguirre said lasciviously.
