Dirk Poor

The Quiet Whistle

When something you counted on goes quiet, you get to decide what comes next.

Dirk Poor in Fortune Falls
Every evening, the whistle at the old factory told Fortune Falls the day was done. Then one evening, it didn't.

Nobody said much about it. The grown-ups just got quieter, the same way the whistle had.

So he rode. Loud wheels on cracked concrete, all the way down to the crossroads.

He wasn't trying to fix anything. He just didn't want the quiet to be the last word.

The whistle never came back. But every evening after that, you could hear Dirk coming.

Some things end without asking you. What you do after is still yours.

One more run.
