He eventually called Angela on his phone.
When she answered he said softly, “You are not going to believe this, but our pigs are still alive and they have multiplied.”
After a long silence she responded with disbelief before finally whispering, “Maybe it is time for us to return.”
As the sun began setting behind the hills Walter mentioned one more surprising detail. A large agricultural company had recently shown interest in buying land across the mountain to build one of the biggest modern farms in the region.
When Caleb heard the company’s name he realized it was the same corporation that had rejected his small farming proposal years earlier because they believed it would never succeed.
Caleb looked across the valley once more and then smiled slowly. “It seems I arrived here before they did,” he said quietly while watching the pigs move freely through the grass.
