Title: The Abominable Ishi
Fandom: Tintin
Rating: K
Length: 311
Content notes: takes place during Tintin in Tibet, broken English ahoy
Author notes: Well, this is new. XD

I don’t do this often, but the title has an obscure reference/allusion I feel needs explaining to fully understand it. Ishi was the name of an Indian that was the last of his kind when he was discovered in 20th century California. No one could understand him and he ultimately died lonely and feeling unloved. Granted, the yeti doesn’t die at the end of the album but he’s torn nonetheless at losing Chang, the one person that seemingly understands him. Poor guy was warm and caring to someone for once and had his one chance at happiness snatched away from him (in his POV).
Summary: The yeti reveals his side of things.

They call me migou, yeti, abominable, monster. I none of those. I only kill yak for food, not for fun. I prefer twigs and berries. Yak and other animals only when I can no find other food.

More than food I want friends. Or friend. It no matter. I want friend. I lonely, because I last of my kind. Sometimes I take little human so it can give me company. But it always run away when it can. Scared. Like all other humans. It give me no chance to show I no want to hurt it but to give it love. It not fair.

This last human I no kidnap but save. Little human hurt from crash in human bird thing. I came from cave home after I hear it crying for other humans. But no others talk to it. Then little human cry and walk away before it go to sleep again. I pick it up and take it to cave to keep it away from cold snow.

When human wake up, it wake up scared. Like all other humans. But it not run away, and not because it can no run. I feel so sad for it, not for me. It cold, weak, lonely. Like me. We like together should stay together I think.

I want to help it. Little human should not die if I could help it. I give it food, shelter, warmth. When it very cold in human cover I hug it with my warm hairy body. I feel warm and happy in chest when it take what I can give for it. Little human getting stronger and happier by day. I getting happier by day. I feel good. I feel the more that I prove to it how good I really am that it will stay when it can run. A friend forever, I dream.

I remember "Ishi: The Last Yahi." Graham Greene played the lead, and he conveyed that loneliness so well.

I liked your story. I don't know the fandom, but you've really imbued the character with warmth, depth and love.
