Every crack of a whip, every crunch of snow under a sled, and every flash of gold in the frozen rivers echoes a deeper truth: we are creatures of nature, and nature always calls us home.

I have seen, read, and watched many stories of Anthropomorphism (An-thro-po-morph-ism): which is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. It is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. It is often displayed in the telling of stories as if viewed from an inanimate object or animal. I have seen these attributes given to animals and such, but never — myself - experienced a story told from the viewpoint of a motorcycle.
