There’s one in every village. They don’t have to be young, they don’t even have to be pretty, but there is one woman in every Alaskan village whose very presence short circuits something in the nervous system of the male of the species, resulting all too often in events that spiral into intervention on the part of a professional peace officer.
In Niniltna, it was Dulcey Kineen. Emphasis, it seems, on the was. A short story.
