“The Dire Wolf killed the Jakes,鈥� he said.
鈥淲ho鈥檚 this Dire Wolf?鈥� I asked. Figured he was talking about someone he knew.
He spoke in a whisper, almost reverently. 鈥淭he Dire Wolf is the curse of the Downstream People, the Arkansa. He is an evil spirit of the Quapaw.鈥�
I sighed and shook my head, knowing how these old Indians liked to throw in a bunch of mythical tribal mumbo-jumbo and superstition to deflect blame from someone they knew. 鈥淲ell, you know where I can find this Dire Wolf fella?鈥� I asked.
鈥淗e cannot be found,鈥� the old man said.
鈥淩eally. You have reason to believe he鈥檚 taken off to other parts?鈥�
He said nothing for a full quarter minute, his black eyes intently on mine, searching. I could see contempt in them and a sadness. Made me nervous.
鈥淣o,鈥� old Long Walker answered at last. 鈥淗e has not departed. Now that he has awakened, he will kill again.”
― Phil Truman, Dire Wolf of the Quapaw: a Jubal Smoak Mystery

“While not all elements in the Periodic Table are represented by letters of the alphabet, some in this book (Magical Elements of the Periodic Table Presented Alphabetically by the Metal Horn Unicorns), are introduced by alternate designations. For instance, Tungsten is also known as Wolfram so 鈥淲鈥� is used as the entry for that alphabetical letter in this book.

“Osm 鈥� the unicorn with the multi-metal horn tipped with Osmium can do it all! He has the powers of all the metal horn unicorns. Osmium is much rarer than gold, about 1000 times, but it is only worth about 录 the price because there are so few uses for it.”

“Lights and darks. And suddenly i was here, where everything seems strange. And I don't know why. Like the Fox and the Crow, I don't know the whole story yet. But that's a good reason to go on, don't you think?"
"Go where?" said the Scarecrow.
"Go forward," said the girl. "See something. Learn something. Figure it out. We won't ever get the whole thing, I bet, but we'll get something. And then we'll have something to tell when we're old about what happened to us when we were young."
"Now?" said the Scarecrow. "Can you tell it now?"
"After," said the girl. "We have to have the BEFORE first, and that's life"
"And what's life?" said the scarecrow.
"Moving," said the girl. "Moving on. Shall we move on? Will you come with me?”

“The deep bowl of frozen air that lay still across the land promised to make the clear night colder than the day. Through the warm glow of the dining room window, we could see Standback and a woman taking their meal. A servant came in to say something to him, and he looked out the window at our approach in the remaining daylight. Standback met us on the porch as we walked our horses up.”
― Phil Truman, Dire Wolf of the Quapaw: a Jubal Smoak Mystery

“Such is the passage, x. 14, where, after giving an account that the sun stood still upon Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, at the command of Joshua, (a tale only fit to amuse children). This tale of the sun standing still upon Motint Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon, is one of those fables that detects itself. Such a circumstance could not have happened without being known all over the world. One half would have wondered why the sun did not rise, and the other why it did not set; and the tradition of it would be universal; whereas there is not a nation in the world that knows anything about it.”
― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

“It [folk music] exceeded all human understanding, and if it called out to you, you could disappear and be sucked into it. I felt right at home in this mythical realm made up not with individuals so much as archetypes, vividly drawn archetypes of humanity, metaphysical in shape, each rugged soul filled with natural knowing and inner wisdom. Each demanding a degree of respect. I could believe in the full spectrum of it and sing about it. It was so real, so more true to life than life itself. It was life magnified.”
― Bob Dylan, Chronicles, Volume One

“Into The Abyss


In the midst of the wailing winds
In the thickets of the ghastly fields
I found a ring lying on the ground
With the footsteps to follow around
Frightened yet resolute, out in the dark i go


In the willows beside the river
An old man creaked in his chair in a queer
"It has eyes everywhere,
You can't escape once you're here"
He whispered, as if his last breath
And out in the dark I go


In the cricket's cries, under the hollow moon
I saw a graveyard with tombs dug through
"Dead celebrate when the night is nigh
For they revel in the living's cry",
Said the men with the axe in tow,
And out in the dark I go


Somewhere out in the dark, distraught
The footprints I stumbled upon were gone
I had to return the ring, i thought
But the one i was carrying was gone


Where am I? I wish I would've known
I stared into the abyss, all alone
No soul within, nor outside stark
I shouldn't have gone out in the dark
I shouldn't have gone out in the dark”
― Dishebh Bhayana
