I spent part of my childhood in Gunnison, CO, high in the Rockies where the wilderness outside town felt wonderous and terrifying. This story, “A Place for Losing Things,” is fiction, but draws on some of the adventures and fears of those days, and our long-lasting attachments to things we can’t quite name. Many thanks to Jeff Bogle and the wonderful team at Stanchion for publishing this piece in Issue 13, and for nominating it for a Best of the Net Award in 2023.
