SENTRY’S SHARE
A Wagoner’s Workshop Tale
At the edge of a narrow mountain pass, where the king’s road bends into shadow and the wind carries secrets through the pines, there stands a gate few forget—and fewer question.
The sentry who keeps it is a man of quiet habits. He does not ask for coin. He does not keep ledgers. Yet every wagon that passes leaves something behind.
As dusk settles and the sky burns low, the first offering reveals itself.
A satchel opens to unveil fresh green apples, their skins dusted with spice from the long road—cinnamon and clove clinging faintly to their crisp, bright scent. The air sharpens instantly, lively and inviting, cutting through the chill of the pass. The sentry breathes it in, eyes narrowing with approval.
Top Notes: Spiced Green Apple
Then comes the true persuasion.
A flask is drawn—dark glass, heavy in hand. The cork loosens with a soft sigh, releasing the deep, smooth aroma of bourbon, rich with warmth. Beneath it lingers the comforting sweetness of brown sugar, melted into the spirit like a memory of firelight and long-forgotten hearths. The sentry’s grip softens. This is a language he understands.
Heart Notes: Bourbon, Brown Sugar
But the final tribute… that is what earns passage.
From the depths of the wagon, wrapped with care, comes the scent of tobacco—earthy, worn, and honest. It mingles with the dry strength of cedarwood, sharp and steady as the beams of an old workshop. And beneath it all, just barely whispered, is the smooth, lingering sweetness of vanilla, softening the edges like smoke curling into night.
The sentry closes his eyes for a moment, letting it settle.
This is the share he keeps.
Base Notes: Tobacco, Cedarwood, Vanilla
The gate creaks open.
No tally is marked. No debt recorded. Only the lingering trace of what was given—and what was taken.
And as each traveler passes through the threshold, they carry it with them:
The crisp spark of spiced apple on the wind…
The deep warmth of bourbon kissed with sugar…
And the enduring trail of tobacco, wood, and softened sweetness fading into the dark.
