Tierra del Fuego is where I've always wanted to go. If it's underwater, well...then I guess I'll learn how to live underwater.

i did bc my life crumbled into ruins & i needed a escape. so i read it on my kindle device :) i liked humbaba and enkidus dream & all when he does to the edge of the world. much like the story of jesus it starts with a slut taking a 'proactive' approach to history
