The last time I told a story to a total stranger I was at the bank making a deposit and withdrawal…just sayin’…

I really loved this story: the tone, the message, the little clues. If there really are Sasquatch, I'm sure they're confused and mourning at the devastation, much as I am.

Enjoyed this, S.E.! Hank would fit in well with The Monkey Wrench Gang.

A relatable story for sure for those of us who have lived long enough! And plain great story telling S.E.!

I can feel the sun on my face, and hear the beavers... Yeah, I can see this one playing out in a bank, the old man's eyes bright with memories.

Magical...just magical!

I was genuinely worried that the little pond wouldn’t make it! I love the twist on this Sasquatch story. 😊

Lovely. Yep, I’d happily meet Hank again too.

What was the prompt?

Thank you, Parker! This one didn't end up having as specific of a prompt; I had been toying with my own take on Sasquatch and this is what came out! 😁

Took a twist at the end there I didn’t expect! Were-Sasquatch? Weresquatch? Excellent story! The nature details at the beginning were perfect.
