Why did i keep having that dream? I sat up in bed and looked around at my little log cabin, it seemed pretty bare. There was a small fireplace, a bed, a half empty shelf. Then there was my most prized possession a small book case filled with books. Books were very rare then since most were destroyed in the blast twenty years earlier and more had been left to rot outside.
i needed to get to work, i had to go to town and trade the Goliath Bear pelt that day, I was running low on ammunition for my two pistols and my rifle. I had thought to make some breakfast before I go. I grabbed a skillet off its peg by the fireplace and get to work. Soon the harty smell of frying bacon filled the cabbin. after I finished with my breakfast, I went outside to groom the majestic animal i would be riding into town. And no it was not a horse. It was my pet kingwolf, Fang, even though she was as big as a horse, she was a wolf.
I put on my guns and headed out the door getting my specially made saddle and fitted onto Fang, then we're off.
When we finally got to town i was able to trade the pelt for one hundred rounds for my rifle and three hundred rounds for my pistols; along with two pounds of ham, a sack of flour, and two pounds of coffee. As i walked around i found a man who offered me a job, he told me that he would give me one hundred dollars for each bearlion pelt i brought him. I denied the job telling him it wasn't worth getting that close to those vicious creatures. They are a challenge even for me and not only in a pack.
I soon arrived home and put Fang in her lot beside the cabin. After cleaning and taking care of her, I turned my attention to the candy cats (small brightly colored feline like creatures) that i had caught on my way back home. I hung thier pelts on the wall of fangs lot and went inside, quickly took off my guns and was going to sleep.
