The natives of North America were nomadic, the Adena-Hopwell, Mississippian and Anasazi cultures emerged.

A shared feeling of loss hanging in the air like gas.” Carmen is very critical to learning about Shy’s past and giving him someone who shares the same feelings.

Competition is an underlying theme in so much of what we do in our daily lives. Whether it’s getting a better grade on a test than your friend, winning a football game or even speeding up faster than the car next to you when the light turns green. Competition, whether we like it or not, surrounds us and we participate in it willingly.
