The Life & Times of Tedious the Wood Butcher
This is a work "in progress". WARNING it is a long story so bear with me. I promise I will try to spare you of the goriest of details.
Tedious is a 16th century Finnish man, the first born to a poor family who farmed and logged for a living. Rarely did either "profession" earn enough to feed them well as the family grew from 1 child to six in the first 9 years of Tedious' life. They lived in a 3 room farm house at the head of a valley 1 mile from the nearest neighbor.
It wasn't unusual to find him and his younger brother, whom Tediuos often towed behind him in a wagon, heading to the neighbors in search of something to eat. Later when his brother could walk longer distances they would venture off to the local grocery store several miles further down the road picking up beer bottles to exchange for a loaf of bread or whatever the grocer would let them take, knowing that the value of the bottles never covered the cost of the groceries.
