Perhaps they send their young out into the world as a sort of rumspringa, so that they can learn about the world and pick up filthy habits like pipe smoking.

Algernon Blackwood and August Derleth would disagree on how cute wendigos are. Ia! Ithaqua!

Not to mention Alpha Flight!

Yaks are such excellent hiders that no one has ever found a Canadian yak in the wild. That’s talent.And maybe the wendigo wouldn’t be so rare if they gave up smoking.

Um … Shauna … a wendigo starts out as a human being who resorts to cannibalism, and his diet turns him into a monster. Also there are no yaks in Canada, but that doesn’t matter because wendigo don’t eat yaks. They eat people.

Read “Wendigo” by Arthur Machen to find out.

I believe Shauna, regardless. Now we know there are yaks in Canada for the wendigos to hunt. Case closed.

While not divided into chapters, the class is reading Under Milk Wood, a Play for Voices, by Dylan Thomas. Although he worked on it intermittently for a decade, it was not completed until a month before his untimely death at 39, in 1953.
