Two old ladies, holding hands.
Country ladies, homemade dresses, sensible shoes. Gray hair pinned back, wirerims, fingers entwined beneath the Big Sky.
One is well-known to me. I carry her DNA. The other could be a sister, they look so much alike.
Unlikely. Wrong countryside, wrong state. More likely: the mother of her son's wife.
