The Navigator by Cynus

Man, I had forgotten that batshit crazy Officer Higgins was still out and about.

Enforcing the leash law, no doubt.

She was always one to stick her nose in places it shouldn't be. :)

And this story draws to a close.

I have to admit I was wondering pretty madly who the person was for that final call -- some of my speculations were far more "out there" than the actual one. I daren't say more.

I found myself reflecting today on how I found myself drawn to Silas's early demonstration of competence in camping, survival skills, etc. It was the same thing I found myself drawn to in Cole Parker's "High Plains of Wyoming" tale, where the lead character (Mason?) had similarly developed extensive skill in wilderness survival. It's not that I personally want to undergo the privation involved; I just find it interesting to contemplate what it would be like to have that level of self-assurance and calm confidence in such a situation. I think it surely must be a guy thing. We value and savor efficacy.

Anyway, good show, and may the navigator continue to navigate.

Thank you, Sam. You've truly 'shown us the way.'

Thank you to everyone, and I'm glad you enjoyed the tale. I appreciate everyone who stuck through to the end, and Silas and the others appreciate it as well. :) I hope you'll all be around for the sequel, whenever I get around to writing it. ;)
