Chapter 16: The Run
Zosia's POV
The Keystone Moot opened on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, at the old Schuylkill County fairground.
There were nine packs this year.
They pitched their colors along the infield in a ring of striped tents, and the grandstand filled with wolves in human skin and the people who came with them.
The Crown's judges' table stood under the old tote board, with Matthias at the center of it, in a gray suit with a black ribbon across his chest.
He did not look at me.
I stood on the starting line with my five on either side of me, and I did not look at him.
I had never worn the Culm Bank colors in front of a crowd.
They were black and anthracite gray, a stripe of each, sewn by the parish women on a flag the foreman had insisted on carrying himself.
Six of us would run.
The bartender, who gave no name to the starter and was written down as "Bartender."
The diver, barefoot, with a hand-me-down singlet.
The foreman, seventy-four now, in a miner's cap and his running shoes, swearing about management.
