The Becoming is a steam-punk retelling of the Romulus & Remus myth, set on the Oregon coast. Instead of two brothers, the she-wolf delivers a mixed liter of mongrel children & dogs, fathered by a rogue member of the Lewis & Clark expedition. The mixed liter are abandoned, left to their own devices to make sense‹through language‹of the savage land they inherit in the name of manifest destiny. This particular excerpt deals with some self-learned food preservation and grooming habits, and how they become conscious of such behaviorisms.
