Existence Womb (55)

   
   "Existence Womb (55)"
   
   Miriam eyed the glacial city of Calgary from approach through the windshield of the Boss 302, it fishtailing through the slow Canadian traffic.  She was alone.  Buck and Luke giving her a chance at independent girl liberty.
   They also gave her a Jim Bowie type of knife with a red Templar Cross stamped on it.  She'd prefer a shotgun, being like Ali McGraw with Steve McQueen, pumping explosive ammo at the bad guys, whatever.  Buck only needed fangs, fur, and fright; moreover, the Templar Knights (Order of Solomon's Temple) knew how to engage in combative anthropology, even with primitive weaponry.  
   Those wise-fighting Templar Knights, disbanded by Pope Clement during 1312, the Year of Our Lord--they still existed, getting up everyday in fantasy land, living more in the clouds than on Earth, always looking for the allegory of the factual Holy Grail.  
   Anyway, Miriam was going to buy some groceries and cigarettes.  Heard the coffin nails were more expensive, up here, in the Great White North.  At least the prisons and health care were superior.
