"The Lookout Man" by B. M. Bower is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jack Corey, a young man who finds himself in a precarious position after a wild night out leads him to commit a crime with friends. To escape potential consequences, Jack flees to a remote lookout station in the wilderness, where he faces not only the solitude of nature but also the weight of his past actions. The opening of the novel sets the scene in the bustling after-hours atmosphere of a beach town, where Jack and his friends engage in reckless behavior that spirals out of control. Following a humorous yet dangerous turn of events during a joyride, Jack's involvement in a mock robbery leads to an unexpected shooting incident that changes everything. Overwhelmed by guilt and fear, he retreats to the mountains, where he assumes the role of a lookout, watching over the forest but grappling with feelings of isolation and regret. As he adjusts to life in the wilderness, he becomes introspective about his situation, illustrating the contrast between his former carefree existence and the gravity of his current circumstances.
