They were the forgotten giants, the lumbering nomads who traversed our barren world with battered bodies and vacuous faces. They were the servants of time, for fastened to the top of their heads by cumbersome chains were towering, hourglass fixtures, the grains of sand mimicking thunder with every drop.
One by one, frightened and confused, they began to fall, concussing the earth as craters formed and vapors escaped.
Their mountainous bodies invaded by nature’s design.
Their sands dispersed throughout chosen regions.
They were the Ancient Ones, beings who involuntarily roamed with an unknown purpose, paving the way for a purpose unknown.
This piece has a beautiful opening!
Thank you!
A fabulous beginning to a new ancient myth! Needs to be longer than 101 words. And when it is, I want to read it.
Thank you for reading it! I actually have plans to not only extend this story, but a collection of other monsters and creatures as well.
It is truly breathtaking… It needs more space, though… This seems like a mere beginning to some larger, more epic…
Thank you! And I definitely agree! I have plans to create a short collection of other monsters and creatures, including the Ancient Ones.
I would love to read that… (I am into this kind of stuff… check out my submissions here, at 101 words:)). Please let me know through email, if you finish this collection, Brandon! (hadravatom at gmail.com)
Pretty Cool!! Looks like the beginning of something great.
Brandon, you are very talented indeed. I know you act, but I didn’t know you were such a good writer
