When you leave me alone in this old palace of yours, it starts to get to me. I take to walking. What a woman does is open doors, and it is not a question of locking or unlocking. I have never seen such a terrible room, gilded with the gold teeth of the women who loved you!

Adult female. Died of starvation. Her baby died first, and she knew what that meant. She knew she was one of the last. She grieved the loss of her child. She called for other mammoths, but she was alone; her family had all died earlier. Then she died too. It was very cold…

@sexlord44 So, Rita dear, you have the proper number of limbs… so what? I may be a freak with my six, yet, I bind you to the prow… who’s the better then?

@kim_mntlbn “It's not a big deal. He's got a picture on his desk, too.”
That last detail didn't seem strictly relevant, and it aggravated him. They seemed to be having it entirely too easy.
