Fiction by Greg Jackson, the author of the novel “The Dimensions of a Cave”: Only as the memory faded and he struggled to detain it did he realize, with a start, that he had remembered something.
The island was small. If one cared to, one could walk from one end to the other in a matter of hours. To reach the southern tip, where there was a swimming beach, he sometimes took one of the small buses that circulated throughout the day. Across the hazy sea to the south, one saw a city on a far-off coastline, with factories lining its harbor, whose tall chimneys emitted knotted white streams.
He must have been smiling, because when the man emerged from the water he said, “What’s all that, now? I know I’m not much of a swimmer. But was it as embarrassing as all that?” Craint shook his head. He had been thinking of something else entirely, he said. He saw the man glance to his side and open his mouth, before deciding to hold his tongue. There in the sand sat another small pyramid of stones. “Have you been up there?” asked Budger. Craint followed his gaze to the hills above.
