Sleeve across her face, swung the ax again. (10) Once the pile of splits became big enough to sit on, she did. (11) She sat with her long legs close
beneath her, booted feet spread wide, pulled headphones from a pocket and clamped them over her ears,
then turned on The Sounds of Tranquil Shores (12) While frosty bits gathered in her hair and on her
shoulders she raised the volume of those ocean sounds. (13) Ree needed often to inject herself with
pleasant sounds, stab those sounds past the constant screeching, squalling hubbub regular life raised
inside her spirit, poke the soothing sounds past that racket and down deep where her jittering soul paced
on a stone slab in a gray room, agitated and endlessly provoked but yearning to hear something that might
bring a moment's rest. (14) The tapes had been given to Mom who already heard too many puzzling
sounds and did not care to confront these, but Ree tried them and felt something unknot. (15) She also
favored The Sounds of Tranquil Streams, The Sounds of Tropical Dawn, and Alpine Dusk
(16) As the frosty bits dwindled the wind slowed and big snowflakes began falling as serenely as anything
could fall the distance from the sky (17) Ree listened to lapping waves of far shores while snowflakes
gathered on her. (18) She sat unmoving and let snow etch her outline in deepening clean whiteness.
