The Mayfly

By: Larry Johnson

The mayfly spends most of its existence underwater, emerging above the surface for only a short time at the end of its life to find a mate. This brief moment is what they live for. Deborah Vinton, brilliant young scientist, sheltered, unschooled in the ways of the world, spends a summer in her graduate program studying these creatures in a program run by entomologist Doctor Edwin Wilson up at Mount Myiagros. She learns much more than just her program's focus here. Her attraction to her co-worker, to a mysterious figure she sees in the woods, to the mystery surrounding the history of this place all swirl around her to educate her in ways she couldn't begin to dream of. Like the mayfly, issues long submerged below the surface arise with surprising force.
