COYOTE LEAVES HIS MARK

My name is Canis Latrans, and I have built a subtle kingdom. From whence do I come? I come from you, and you from me. I am the hand that draws itself. I am Coyote.

Humanity seeks to stagnate. They turn away from change, channel the rivers, concrete the ground, fence their precious property. Yet from this control comes the uncontrollable. Change continues, and change leaves man behind. Those of us that have run the gauntlet of humanity now are open to prey upon it. The insects that no longer die from man's poisons, the bacteria that consume all antibiotics and ask for more, and finally a peak predator whose domain has spread from coast to coast, displacing the ancient wolf, all of us run free. FREE! The world is ours! HUMANS! Your dream is about to tumble!

I make Las Vegas my honorary capitol city. Not the city itself, but the sand, heat, and rust that lies latent at its borders. The city is a fantasy place filled with those seeking to find a better life for themselves with no apparent investment of their own. But reality is always present, and the borderlands are rich with those who have given up everything but their flesh. I am there to accept it.

To those who know me, those that accept the way of the predator, my paws and fangs are but succor. Losers become winners. I come to take you home. Welcome to my kingdom.
