Big Medicine

This spear. No one had seen it before yesterday. Nobody even considered that it was real. The man lived on a remote lake and spoke with loons. Questions of his sanity. The headdress, the flute and the spear. Rumors of a Professor Toru Tanaka like creature running ghost-like thru the morning wilderness fog. Appalachian trail hikers in the woods near Dartmouth heard his primal screams. The chipmunk,Squeaks, that lived in his pocket. No one believed. Until now that is. I started building a tepee about a week ago. Yesterday morning I was startled awake, just before sunrise. It sounded like a gorilla was thrashing around in the dark. I jumped out of bed and ran outside but found nothing. Nothing except The Spear. It was leaning up against the unfinished tepee. As I was standing there, staring at The Spear I heard the mournful cry of a loon off in the distance.
