GARVIN HARVERTON woke knowing something wasn’t right, but damned if he
could figure out what. He had a knack for things sometimes, which meant
whatever it was would reveal itself in time, or maybe it was just his
imagination running on overtime. Still, it made him wonder what was in
store for him.

The electric clock with battery backup glowed that it was almost seven
in the morning, but it was still almost completely dark. He got out of bed
and slid his feet right into heavy slippers before making his way to the
wood stove in the next room. He’d been up in the middle of the night to add
more fuel, but he didn’t remember doing it. The action had become a habit
after the hundreds of times he’d done it over the years. Heck, Sasha, his
Samoyed, who slept near his legs, never raised his big head.
At least when
he flicked the switch near the door, the lights came on. That was an
improvement over the past few days at least. He had a propane heater and
used it to provide a base level of heat in the house, but anything above that
came from the wood he felled, cut, split, and stacked beside his cabin.
Garvin added more wood to the stove, and the fire flared to life. That was
one chore done. He scratched his backside and headed for the bathroom.
All the pipes that ran under the cabin were well insulated to keep them
from freezing, though it did happen on occasion. But as long as he kept the
house warm, he was generally okay. Fortunately, this morning he even had
hot water, and he relished a very quick hot shower.
Then, after shaving,
brushing his teeth, and checking to make sure his hair didn’t look like
Grizzly Adams’s, he left the bathroom door open so heat could circulate. He
dressed quickly, fed Sasha, and made a rough but hearty breakfast of
oatmeal with some bacon and the last of the ham. Ready for the day at just
before eight, he logged on to his computer, brought up the conferencing
application, and watched as, one by one, bleary-eyed kids logged on for
school.
Sasha poked his head into the camera frame and got greetings from
Garvin’s students before lying near his feet.
These were bush kids. They lived with their families in the rough
wilderness areas of the state. Garvin worked with their parents and state
officials to help ensure that they got an education.
The faces were familiar,
but always seemed to vary, since the kids were spread over a wide area and
sometimes had power issues, just like he had had the past couple of days.
Still, Garvin went through the lesson, making it as engaging as possible. He
always assigned homework of a sort, and the kids emailed it in or sent him
pictures of their artwork and stuff.
