A Channel Deeply Cut

The lost always return home...

On a two lane highway in the Crazy Mountains of Montana, there is a small green sign with white reflective lettering: Dixon, Exit 91.
The road sign is a misleading one, since Dixon is not there, just off the exit. The tiny mountain town is another fifteen miles south and buried between the foothills of the Crazies. With a sign so small and a road that leads to what seems like nowhere, most travelers never reach Dixon.
Gabe Travers wishes he could do the same, but when he reaches that exit ramp, he dutifully turns south.
He is going to home to bury his father. He's going home to keep a promise he made eleven years ago and Gabe plans to see it through and get out as fast as he can.
But not all plans or promises happen as one might expect.
