Honestly all I've read recently has been nonfiction--or online comics. But I do miss the days when I'd get wrapped up in a great series.
What is TUBM's ideal location for taking a walk?
Somewhere in the Appalachian mountains. I will be armed with a bowie knife and a hunting rifle, and I will only be wearing the pelts of what I kill. This walk will take anywhere between 2 weeks to 5 years, by the end of which I will have befriended a coyote whom I will name Abaiyachi, the Chickasaw word for "alongside", as that is where we will fight and survive together. We will have met after a bear chases me a mile south of Nashville, and he will be slightly too big for a typical bear.
After many moons dressed in deerskin and eating raccoon, I will get too brave. I gather my Squirrel gun and knife and go after the bear, whom I have now named Nokuse for the Mvskoke word for "Bear", as that is what he is, and go to hunt him. After a long bottle in which I am wounded, Abaiyachi will finish off the bear with a bite to the neck, a chunk of which is ripped out as the bear pulls the coyote away, mortally wounding the both of them.
As Abaiyachi lies panting, I realize I have a single round left. "Ayukpachi, ikana..." I say as I put him out of my misery. I bury him where he lay, sticking my rifle out of the ground like a gravemarker, before trudging through the mud and rain back to civilization where I will speak to no one of what has occured.
... Or just somewhere in the country side is nice for walks.
TUBM is somewhat fascinated by native languages?
