As Melvin wakes up in a dream life, he finds himself being.. well incredibly ordinary, at least to most people. instead of having something glamourous that has happened to him, Melvin finds himself back "home" in Michigan, just hanging out in the forest. While the moose had very much adapted to life in the human realm, Melvin's dream life apparently involves him just becoming a regular old moose. Now, unfortunately for Melvin, he apparently gets plopped in the woods in the middle of hunting season. So not only is Melvin going to have to live out his days in the middle of the woods, with no creature comforts that he has grown used to, but he is also going to have to avoid all of the hunters and predators that are out there just waiting to eat him. Melvin found that he needed to sharpen his antlers, but without the money of the SHL, he no longer had antler implants for the entirety of the year, and instead had to shed his antlers every year. He is very sad about this.
