I remember staring at the old man, then at my hands, then at Canada. The shoreline
was dense with brush and timber. I could see tiny red berries on the bushes. I could
see a squirrel up on one of the birch trees, a big crow looking at me from a boulder
along the river. That close - twenty yards - and I could see the delicate latticework of
the leaves, the texture of the soil, the browned needles beneath the pines, the
configurations of geology and human history. Twenty yards. I could’ve done it. I
could’ve jumped and started swimming for my life. Inside me, in my chest, I felt a
terrible squeezing pressure. Even now, as I write this, I can still feel that tightness.
And I want you to feel it - the wind coming off the river, the waves, the silence, the
wooded frontier. You’re at the bow of the boat on the Rainy River. You’re twenty-one
years old, you’re scared, and there’s a hard squeezing pressure in your chest. What
would you do? (O’Brien 56).
