Supertramp

Leaving civilization behind he arrived on a cold crystal day finding a magic bus with frosted windows where he could stay freezing weather the bus was his shelter out of the fray leftover from workers on the Alaskan Stampede Trail back in the day, Living solitary off the land was something he wanted to do at any cost a good shot at game but as for preserving it he was at a loss starving to death the Teklanika River too treacherous to cross journal entry 69 showed he was in an unpredictable toss, Eating some potato plant seeds he felt extremely weak melancholy he wrote a pathos farewell sign if someone should seek a 24 year old whose gloaming time ended that August in 1992 forevermore valiant into the wild Christopher McCandless was gone too soon. 8-13-17
