By

Set after Call Of The Wild.
Ray sets out to return to Canada.
An established relationship story.
Written: March 2008. Word count: 100.
They'd gone north together.
On the fatal trip intended to rebuild their friendship, their relationship.
The trip that instead had turned into a living nightmare. Trapped God-knows-where, Benny blinded and delirious and calling Ray 'Steve'.
Ray had vowed never to go north again.
But then bored with the bowling alley, he'd returned to Chicago and ran into Kowalski. Kowalski'd muttered about 'the frozen north', 'made a mistake', 'nothing but snow and more snow'.
He'd left Fraser rebuilding his cabin.
That's when Ray knew he had to head north.
Go where he swore he wouldn't.
Go north and find his Benny.
Flashback is the sequel to this story.
