THE STATIC CRACKLED THROUGH THE SPEAKER AT 2 AM. SARAH ADJUSTED THE
DIAL ON HER HAM RADIO, CHASING A WEAK SIGNAL FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE
APPALACHIANS.
"ANYONE COPYING? THIS IS KB9XCAN ANYONE HEAR ME?"
HER S-METER JUMPED. THE VOICE WAS OLD, TREMBLING.
"COPY YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. GO AHEAD."
SILENCE. THEN: "DON'T TRUST THE TOWER. THE ONE ON BALD MOUNTAIN. THEY
HEAR EVERYTHING."
SARAH GLANCED OUT HER WINDOW AT THE DISTANT SILHOUETTE AGAINST THE
MOON.
"WHO ARE YOU? WHAT'S UP THERE?"
NO ANSWER. JUST DEAD AIR AND THE FAINT HUM OF HER RECEIVER.
THE NEXT MORNING, SHE LOOKED UP BALD MOUNTAIN. THE OLD FCC TOWER HAD
BEEN DECOMMISSIONED FOR THIRTY YEARSNO POWER, NO STAFF. BUT SHE FOUND
FOOTPRINTS IN THE DUST AROUND THE BASE. FRESH ONES. LEADING UP. AND
ONE SET LEADING DOWN, ALONE.
SHE NEVER TOUCHED THE RADIO AGAIN. BUT SOMETIMES, LATE AT NIGHT, SHE
SWEARS SHE HEARS IT CALLING HER CALL SIGN FROM SOMEWHERE ABOVE THE
TREES.
