Stone Circles - Part II

Dear Jenny and Saturday Centus contributors,
Please forgive my affrontery; I just wanted to see where this would go. Still have a few problems with comments. Ames .... Holy Cow, Wow!!! and several others. Jeff, guess I could just pick up the phone .... thank you for this one. And so, my contribution ..... #26, I think.


Lowering himself to the ground, sat cross legged in front of her in the sweltering afternoon. From his trickle soaked shirt, he drew something from the pocket extending an open hand. Finnegan, looking for another ear scratch, nuzzled his fingers. Little Sister, fully awake now, puzzled over the object. "Remember the stories we read about the people long, long ago in Europe when there were Mammoths and Cave Bears?" "Ayla?" "Right, well, what do you see?"  Pulling the cat up into her lap, they all stared as she turned it over in her hand, "It looks kinda like a horse scratched within the stone. Oh, Father, where did you find this?"

  5. Very good! It flows seamlessly. Wonder where he did get that stone....
    Thanks for your sweet comments. I hope you get the blogger issues fixed. Like I have been telling others, I unchecked the "keep me signed in" box and that seemed to correct my issues with not being able to leave comments. Hugs!~Ames

  8. Fascinating. I'm new to Jenny's Centus and I'm just lurking before I have a go for real. I love this piece of writing and I agree with Robyn and Nonna. More please.

  9. Clan of the Cave Bear? Was that the name of that book series? Blogger is being pretty obnoxious...I just have to keep reminding myself, 'you get what you pay for' to keep from breaking things in frustration!

    You have a neat way of telling a story. I always feel like I'm holding my breath when I read your work. I loved this!
