One thing about people-they need to tell stories. They can't stop themselves. Stories all the time. That's how they understand things. So said Coyote to Andrea, shortly after she died. Andrea had never believed in any kind of afterlife or gods, so she was surprised to find herself still somewhat alive, floating in the form of a ghost in the soft, dry desert air of Nevada. She was even more surprised to meet a supernatural being with a coyote's face, antlers, and the supplies for making coffee.
I don't understand why I'm a ghost, she told the coyote spirit. I don't understand if there is a god or not. Is there a god? The coyote just looked at her and didn't answer. Stubbornly, Andrea forged ahead, Because I never believed in one but here I am, a ghost sitting with a supernatural being.
Coyote set his coffee cup down on the dirt beside his rock. He glanced at Andrea, grimaced, and said, Okay, I'll try to explain. Since you humans like stories, I'll try to explain that way. I'll tell you some stories.
So come along with Coyote and Andrea as they share stories about life and death, spiders in the bathroom and how Andrea lost her bra at a truck stop, enemy gods and pottery shards, adventures in vomit, what scientists say about dark matter and the fifth force, and other topics both sublime and ridiculous.
