This is my contribution to Monday’s Finish the Story – brought to us by Barbara Beacham.
Finish the story starts with: “The petroglyphs told the story of an unusual event.”
It told of the day that our world died. And it told us of a time before the event which plunged our world into darkness. They say these carvings were made by those who had seen the old world. A world where we could create daylight with the touch of a finger, and fly around the world inside the belly of a giant bird. A world where there was more food than we could ever consume. And water. There were oceans and rivers in this world, so much water that you could immerse yourself in it.
Then the rock fell from the sky, and our world was changed forever.
But this is just a story, a child’s tale. Some say that there was no old world, and that the carvings were made to give us something to dream about.
Great story. I especially loved the last line – hope or history? This could be the opening chapter of a novel!
