Good story, but I have wondered since he was found, why didn't the killer take his weapons and 'stuff'? Maybe he fell down the side of a hill and they didn't see him. He would be, in our terms, MIA. I just found it strange that, with his wounds and crushed skull, he still had his weapons. Thanks for the story.
The sands have time have obscured much
Indeed!
Fermented milk and blood? Nice. Is that available in California?
You've given a lot of attention to detail in this story. You made the ice man come alive again and gave us a taste of what could have been.
Excellent. I enjoyed that.
EVERYTHING is available in California if you run with the right crowd.
Thank you, padre!
a fascinating story.
I tried with this one Brig, based on the scientific evidence. But I prefer more hard core fiction where it's just me and my imagination playing tricks.
Good assumption, LL. It could have happened that way or he could have been a loner like our early 'Mountain Men'. Enjoyed your version.
