The Himalayan Snowcock is not an especially terrifying bird. Due to traumatic events in his childhood, though, my nemesis John feared them so violently that hearing their call would often lead to him soiling his opponent’s pants in addition to his own. It was nearly as frightening as my mother telling you she loves you, which my siblings and I all dread. She only says that when she wants something from you, and the things she wants are always terrible. In my family, none of the children believed their father when he told them that their mother was a misunderstood, kindhearted soul. We all knew she was as ruthless as a wolf that ate both a haggis and a haggis maker.

As I took a moment to touch the marks on my arms left by my mother’s tattoo artist when I was just a boy, I hoped that neither she nor John would appear at this auction.
