There is a woman who works a small drawbridge on a quiet canal, raising it for boats and lowering it for cars. Her name is June, and her day is measured in crossings — each one small, each one necessary, each one a quiet act of keeping the world moving.

If you're settling in for sleep, this story is for you. Close your eyes. Let the rhythm of the bridge carry you somewhere gentle.
