The Bowron Diet
Looking to lose that last bit of pesky weight? Then try the Bowron diet. Not only will your body fat plummet, but you will also get a fantastic work out! I discovered the wondrous benefits of this diet while on a canoeing trip with eight others. This particular diet involves a nine day round trip, two of which are reserved for driving to and from the Bowron lakes campground. The rest are canoeing (or Kayaking) around the circuit of lakes, with campgrounds set up at intervals, and a strict meal plan. Like all diets, the trip started with high hopes and determination.

I stumbled into my simple room. Bare furniture scavenged over the years and heavily damaged walls, patch repaired until I have the money to fix it greet me. My eyelids weighed me down. I stifled a sob. I don't want to live like this. Forever. Rolling a knot out of my back, I knock loose acorns that come crackling down my spine. Bones settling back into place. My gloves knocked the smith's ash into a neat pile on the floor. Exhausted, I hammered myself into bed. The noises that every person avoids to keep sleepers at peace, prying my eyes wide awake. I sighed and looked for More. Feeling around the cardboard box I used to keep the cat litter in another box, I searched for my wallet. I had started resting it there. A slick black leather wallet that my friend found me on the side of a road. My thick brown leather wallet was too big while holding little he said. I found it flat against the box. More pills spilled out. I grabbed one and turned it over in my hand. Studying it. Who doesn't want More? I swallow. I felt its unnatural shape as it lowered.
