Archaeologist John Stoker and his mentor Stewart Jacksworth have stumbled onto an ancient village that has been buried for generations. During the dig, Jacksworth and Stoker discovered something amongst the ruins which has the power to drive men mad. And now Stoker has gone missing. The only clue as to his whereabouts is the audio cassette he's left his mentor. As Jacksworth listens to his protégé's recording, he can't help but wonder if Stoker has cracked, and if his insanity is contagious...
The Dig edition by Lon K Montag Literature Fiction eBooks
"And memory is of little help, for what good is remembering how you felt when you cannot feel the way you felt?"When I read this line from Montag's short story "The Dig," I felt the weight of his protagonist's conundrum. How can you replicate a feeling that is resigned to memory?
Caught up in recollection and sentiment, trapped between ancient history and the living jungle, Stewart Jacksworth seems a descendant of Marcel Proust's sentient narrator. Feeling everything in those moments of remembrance, Jacksworth's pathos hangs as heavy as the ash of the volcano. I couldn't ask for a more alluring invitation into a story.
A fiction within a fiction, a fable within a story, "The Dig" captures the wistfulness of the long ago past and the profound effect it can have on the senses. With a few rich images, Montag impacts his reader just as Proust had done with his madeleine: tobacco and pipe, the "guttural mimicry of a growl," the click click of a cassette recorder, and the beads of sweat on Jacksworth's forehead, all are powerfully evocative in this short story.
Suspense is skillfully developed in "The Dig." I found myself reading quickly out of sheer anticipation. One wants to keep the tempo of this well built narrative, eager to see what's haunting its characters so vividly. To see is apt here, for in the end, I did just that.
"The Dig" is a quick read, though its impression may linger long after its words are spent. With a doleful image of a past that is preserved through time, Montag offers his reader an emotive experience through language.

The Dig edition by Lon K Montag Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Maybe I missed something but I didn't get it. I like a story with a beginning (Good), a middle (Huh?), and an end (WTH?). Good thing it was a short and free.
