"L" is lovable

"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." [From the story]

“Joe Aguirre, wavy hair the color of cigarette ash and parted down the middle, gave them his point of view.”  Short story.   ;)
