Notes: Promises to Keep
This story changed, and grew, and changed, and changed. I have to thank Barbaretta Hayden, for keeping me honest, even though she wasn't sure I wanted to hear it, and far kinder than an importunate stranger deserved. This is a better story for it.
I also must thank my dear friend Sabrys, who hunted through piles of information for a single name for me. It only gets mentioned once, but without it the entire plot would have fallen apart in a fairly spectacular manner. I'll thank BitTorrent, for solving a crisis, and I should probably thank Jamestown, ND, though they may come to wish I had never actually taken a map, a pin and a piece of string and looked for towns between eight and nine hundred miles from Denver! All information about North Dakota was taken from websites. I have striven to be accurate, and where I couldn't be accurate to at least be plausible! The paper mill does not exist except in my fevered imagination. Neither do Kemp or Hennessy or anyone in Jamestown: if names coincide it is sheer coincidence.

can I just mention how much I love Google?
The poem that I used for the title, and that Buck misquotes is by Robert Frost
Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening, Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
