Bears Discover Fire by Terry Bisson
In a quietly surreal fable set in a rural town, wild bears begin appearing at night with campfires, sitting on porches and altering the rhythms of ordinary life; the narrator watches neighbors and family adapt with a mix of curiosity, humor and unease. When the narrator's older brother goes to see the bears and returns changed in small, enigmatic ways, the story uses that gentle upheaval to explore aging, family bonds, mortality and the fragile boundary between the human and natural worlds.
