Description by Author:
A
full moon hung in the dome of the sky over Edmonton. Earliest dawn in the great
city sent scarlet fingers of light into a navy-blue sky above her eastern
suburbs. A veil of summer mist formed over the North Saskatchewan River like a
silken shroud that drifted eastward over the valley bottom covering the
alabaster sheen of human corpses hidden among the poplar and evergreen stands
below. A breeze moved through groves of quaking aspen, and the city shuddered
deep inside her bones at the horrors of the night she had witnessed.
