I stuck my pan in the silt, swirled it around a bit, and came out the other side with 2 silver beauties. I'm not sure why these were in the generic bin, but I'm definitely glad they were. Maybe because of that black spot on the left one? It's definitely not a camera smudge, or a trick of the light. It's a pit in the silver, black and rough. Unfortunate, but it happens. As for the other one, maybe because it's grungy? Works out well because that's how I prefer them.
If you've been around SSG for a minute you probably already know what's on the other side.
Sure enough, two bearded gentlemen. Looking a little worse for the wear, but with a shimmering hope in their eyes. One good strike and it will all be worth it. They've left their entire lives behind out East for a chance to build something better. Out here they only have their gear and the breath in their lungs, but it's enough.
Inhale. Exhale. One breath, then the next. Tomorrow is coming. Tomorrow it will be better.
