Tin Hero

In the tales of adventurers and heroes everyone knows the farm boy, on his quest to slay the Ogre/Dragon/Nosy neighbor who really shouldn’t be poking around in the azaleas with his camera must enlist the tutelage of a wise benevolent master.

But sometimes the old narrative gets a bit crossed and the farm boy is actually the misbegotten son of a blacksmith and the benevolent master is a retired woman who’d rather face down a rather peckish horde of brain eaters than teach an idiot how to properly wave a sword before heroically soiling his drawers. Funny how they never mentioned that part in the tales.

Somewhere between the stuff of legends and the legends of stuff lies the actual muddy, humorous and gory truth.
