Out by the lake one morning, as
the sun was just above the tree
tops, a mist swirled upon the surface
of the water the lay smooth and still.
I happened to walk with my eyes
reflecting on the mirrored shrubbery
standing by the water, when I saw
this form moving about the far bank.
The form looked human and tended
to sway. I crept around the lake to
get a better view. It heard the crack
ing of limbs from under my feet.
Then it was gone. It was hidden out
of sight. I looked around to see if
anyone had seen me and then at
once I realized my close encounter
of a strange kind. Curiousity ran
away with me so I took off towards
the spot I'd seen it. No one had seen
me from the dormitories, so I felt
greedy. A few moments later and I
was at the spot. I could see where
the tall weeds had fallen from its
presence moments ago. I looked at
the trees and shrubs and then back
into that misty surface, which seem
ed to tell me by a whisper that I was
in for a moment not to be forgotten.
I could feel it. Its powerful presence
grew stronger as I stared at the still
water.
And then as I began to slowly
turn around, yeki
l-What is he? As I tried to focus, I
saw a brawny man and bare except
for a willow cloth around his loins
wrapped around his shoulder, he
stared at me without moving-just an
axe length away, his eyes were wide
but still. I guess he didn't know
what to make of me. Of course, 1
was harmless, right? Then, his
mouth opened very slowly, and
there was no sound. His face looked
primitive by the slanted forehead,

yet he looked close to modern. His
skin was dark brown and his looked
gray. A black beard covered his jaws
and chin. With his mouth open, the
teeth were gaped and uneven: the
lower front teeth jutting out. The axe
in his hand was chipped from rock
of some sort and the handle of some
hard substance other than wood.
He was standing about my height,
5'7 1-2" to my recollection. And he
was studying me too. He looked
horrified. Hey, it was morning, I had
just gotten up. Well I was afraid to
move. So I thought I'd just smile. He
smiled too. Maybe I could introduce
myself. Ah, 1 said.
A slow (wow) said he. he pointed
to me with his other hand. It looked
as though he was reaching out to
wards me. Before I realized it, 1 was
grabbing his wrist. The movements
were slow but I felt like I was about
to become a friend. And then he
spoke. Naturally, within a few
moments, I found that he was lost
and did not know where he was. He
stared at our dormitories and again
said (WOW)! His name, Nomadishee
and claimed to have come from the
land of Sagawechewpoopoo. W^i, i
needed to get to class but I couldn t ^
bring him with me. He would not
come with me because he prefeired
to stay in the woods where he was
safe L I asked if I could meet him
again and later 1 did. So students, ^
you could kindly be of some help to
this man, go out there
and befriend Nomadishee. And
^ do, leam »ha.
and write to The Lance and de^^e
your experience and suggest how we
ran get Nomadishee to adapt to us.
