Memories of Lucien Gagnon

By Lucien Gagnon

In Memories of Lucien Gagnon, a weathered trapper reflects on a haunting winter in 1962 along the Groundhog River, 50 miles north of Timmins. At 25, Lucien thought he mastered the bush, trapping mink, marten, and wolves for 42 years. But a brutal blizzard traps him in his cabin, unleashing eerie giggles and menacing laughs from unseen forces-Memegwesi, trickster spirits of Moose Cree lore. As his supplies dwindle and fear mounts, Lucien confronts the terror he inflicted on countless animals, their suffering mirrored in his own entrapment. Broken, he burns his pelts and cabin, abandoning trapping forever. Now 58, bagging groceries in Fauquier, he finds peace in a quiet life, redeemed by mercy he never gave.
