The Belly of the Beast — Bluestem Magazine

"A bear swallowed me today. I wandered off the trail to find a Wi-Fi signal, discovered this big rock to sit on—major Thoreau energy—and type my daily 1,000 words. The big bastard snuck up from behind."

Big love for this story by @travisflatt.bsky.social 💙💙💙
