| Summary | "The Other Half" by Edwin L. Sabin is a short story that explores themes of loss, longing, and the consequences of past actions. Written in the early 20th century, the tale unfolds during a plane trip across the rugged landscapes of the American West, invoking a sense of nostalgia and adventure. The narrative centers around the mysterious character John Brown, a man consumed by his search for a long-lost woman and the other half of a silver coin that holds deep personal significance. The storyline follows the narrator, an aviator, who accepts John Brown as a passenger on his return journey from Omaha to San Francisco. As the journey progresses, an engine failure forces them to land in a desolate area where they discover a skeleton and the missing half of Brown's cherished coin. Through a poignant conversation, the aviator reveals the tragic backstory of Brown's lost love and her fate, intertwining the past and present. This encounter leads John Brown to confront his decades-long turmoil wrought by the abandonment of his wife, ultimately giving him a sense of closure as both the physical and emotional halves of his story come together at last.
