The sun was rising just over the peaks of the blue-green mountains when I began my walk down the hillside. I wanted to get to the market early so I could sell my things before people spent all their money, and then be on my way. The sky was blue, but the cool, early air still held some moisture from the rain that had come late in the night, which put out the last embers of my pyre. I tried to avoid the slops of mud that were speckled in the road, as I walked past banana trees and evergreens, and as I neared town, I passed the first house, white stucco with a tin roof that was fenced in with wire supported by log posts.
