It's understandable why giants would figure in their folklore.

Scar on my left forearm from hockey - playing a scrimmage during a practice, and I was crowding my goalie a bit. he used his stick to wrap around my arm and dragged a rough edge along an exposed section between my glove and elbow.

Scar running along a vein on my right wrist, looking like a sinister memory from a dark time in my life - my cat.
