Lady of the Canyon

THE LADY OF THE CANYON

A late foggy night…
Not a good start to his retirement, he is already tired from driving all day in impenetrable fog. Four hundred miles creeping along jammed roads, guided by radar equipped Highway Patrol cars. Finally, he is on a two lane country road passing through a narrow canyon, a last winding step to his new home.
Suddenly she is there, caught in his light beam, standing in the middle of the road. He stops, stunned by her appearance in the middle of the night…
She beckons to him, then disappears into some trees.
Then she is gone.

Who did he see in the Canyon?
