Front-Ranger:
There's been a lot of discussions of ashes in the story and the movie...not all of it has made it onto this topic. We'll have to do some catch-up. Currently I'm reading a story in the Close Range collection that brings up the metaphor of ashes as well:


--- Quote ---She had two women friends, Pamela Gratt and Ruth Wolfe, both of them burning at a slower rate than Josanna, but in their own desperate ways also disintegrating into drifts of ash.
--- End quote ---


This is from A Lonely Coast, a story about Wyoming that imagines it as the coastline of an ancient ocean, which it is, buffeted not by waves but by wind.
