Lamplight Penance

Lamplight Penance is the juxtaposition of two seemingly incongruent worlds living, if not in harmony, at least in proximity. After gaining fame as a courageous yet benevolent adventurer in The Oregon Trail, Henri Chatillon retired to his hometown of Saint Louis to raise his children after the passing of his dearly beloved Sni Mato, the daughter of an Oglala chieftain.

Eventually remarrying during the golden years of his life, Henri settled into his new mansion, surrounded by unfamiliar but comfortable surroundings. He kept remembrances of his past life in the attic hidden in the floor, including a portrait of his dearly departed wife and gear from his days as a guide. Lamplight Penance is the collision of two worlds: the sweet scent of peaches, berries and daffodils waft through the attic window as the oil lamp burns and Henri forlornly remembers the frontier life that he left behind.
