My first and very uncertain forays into the world of writing began with this novel back in late November of '99. Spawned in the aftermath of a fishing trip into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in west central Alberta, Canada, and spurred on by many late nights reading anthro fiction on the internet, this story began i's long and tangled path to the present with a few pages of hastily typed out text that bear little resemblance to what the current story holds.

The 'universe' in which Wild Rose Country is set occurs many thousands of years after the demise of the human race. It follows the experiences of a single human inexplicably yanked out of place and time and dropped into the far distant future. Finding himself as a stranger in a strange land, he tries to survive in a world that has returned to the iron age. The Earth has recovered from the damage done by the long extinct human race and a new culture has gained a foothold, but they are far from human...

For the truly obsessed, below lies the story that started it all. Wild Rose Country version 1.0. This was my first attempt at writing anything since my high school days. It is a little rough, as can be expected. I managed to write five or so chapters before I got frustrated and shelved it. Even so, I don't think that it's all that bad. The general storyline is there and the later versions borrow some of the same events. For those that are interested, WRC ver 1.0 can be found at the link below, in zipped .txt format.
