Terrific Things

Terrific: Colossal, excellent, terrifying. This is the word, in every sense of itself, that can best describe what is to be found in the mountains. The locals know it, the travelers know it, and those who emigrate away know it all the more. But one man, a destitute nobody traveling away to take a break, to think on his life until this point, knows it not. One thing in his future, however, is assured: When this foray has met its end, he will certainly know that nameless thing.
