The End of Summer

by Barry N Malzberg

Jane Marsh sits with her memories of Elvie, the Scottish estate where she spent her childhood summers. She remembers the purple heather covering the hills and the quiet loch below. Most clearly, she sees her grandmother and Sinclair, the man she once hoped to marry. Those dreams died long ago when she left Scotland behind. Now her grandmother's lawyer arrives with urgent news that pulls Jane back to Elvie. The estate waits as she left it, surrounded by the same wild landscape. Sinclair waits too. Jane must decide whether the life she abandoned still holds a place for her, or whether some doors close forever.
