63 Days Later: A Holiday Tail

Worth of mentioning: this is not a classic Christmas story, there is no carolling, no actual Christmas festivities, none of that. And why would there be? That's not who August and Keegan are.

After leaving Alaska, August and Keegan opted for a more secluded life. Being there for a far shorter period than Keegan, it was a little difficult for August to re-accustom to civilization, but nothing too hard. When it comes to Keegan, after spending about 10 years by himself in Alaska, it was more than hard for him to cope. We get to see Keegan trying to function in the middle of civilization, seeing how dependant of August he is when doing something as simple as going to the store and how he struggles to get over it, to be able to do things we usually don't think twice about.

63 Days Later is more of a slice of life novella, but if you think August and Keegan are the stars of this one, you are wrong. The true star is Daisy, the wolf Keegan rescued as a puppy and that August got to love so much that they brought her back with them. In a way, this is the perfect Christmas story, it warms you up and, I don't know about you, but it made me like August and Keegan even more.
