Jumper’s Rock

July 2, 2026 by Guest Author Drama, Hot

The pickup, long past its prime, bounced and rattled over ruts in the hard-packed road. The road ended at the base of a trail that would take her to the top of Mesa Roca.

It was late June in west Texas, just after midnight of a day so hot it could rip the hide right off you. A battered driver-side door opened, and a figure stepped down from the ancient F-150.

The vertical wall and jumble of rock at the base of the mesa re-radiated the day’s heat. Even after sunset, it was still brutal.

She lifted a backpack from the truck’s bed and steadied it on the side while she checked the water bottles and the main load in the bag. That secure, she shrugged into the straps, buckled it about her waist, and grabbed the walking stick.

The Journal Entry of One Violet Cooper

Dr. Anderson suggested I write it all down–that it would be helpful to get the story on paper and out of my head. A day hasn’t gone by that I haven’t thought about it, but I’m not sure this will help at all. And it happened so long ago that I’m not sure how much of it is real and how much is just part of the nightmares that began afterward.

But I’ll do it because Dr. Anderson suggested it. He’s been so helpful in getting me to talk about it, especially since my parents never would.

So, here’s my story. I’m Violet Cooper and this is my journal entry. Everything you are about to read is true to the best of my recollection.
