Reading notes part A: Mississippi Valley/ Great Lakes

Mississippi Valley/Great Lakes notes edited by Katherine Berry Judson

The first half of these were difficult to decipher. The writer makes it sound like the animals are humans or maybe demons I am just not sure.

I will keep with the same story but change the ending and the character names and a few traits. Grotto of Lust Leorio, as with many who are given too much in life, was dissatisfied. Leorio had the most beautiful and loyal wife, Setsu, but he tired of her constant presence. In his boredom he began to think of a siren he once saw, but could not catch. She had a voice that could make tears prick your eyes and a beauty that surpassed anyone Leorio had ever set his eyes upon. He sat and thought about the way she sang and played her lute effortlessly. It all became a dizzying daydream and he could not bare the thoughts any longer. He left his wife without a thought and made his way to the emerald sea where she lived. Once his feet sunk into the sand and he breathed in the salty air he b
