I hope he remembers this as an adventure, rather than a trauma.

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.

This feels like the start of a Brothers Grimm’s tale.

The kid is a changeling.

“…did i ever tell you the story of how i got lost in the woods for two days when i was…?”

Probably the bears and mountain lions just thought he was a doll.

Jokes aside, I do hope he isn’t traumatized.

Ryker cannot be defeated.

He does have a sort of feral child expression in that photo.

I was about 3 years old when I too decided to go for a walk and ran off from my parents and ended up about a mile down a dirt road.
