Formations on the Island Shores




Formations on the Island Shores

I have a memory of seeing history in these island formations. It was like a record of where the survivors fell and a chronicle of those who continued, formed into rock. These islands formed by the fallen as their last breath leaked out. Giants were next to the hardly visible at all. Some were so much smaller, some so much larger than I. Some appeared to be in agony. Others surely ended in the arms of another, obviously in love.

    1. The story here is sort of similar, though still evolving. I have been working on this story for quite a long time. The survivors in the shapes of the rocky shore I have been appearing since I was a child.

    1. A first step has to be made, followed by another. As for being part of the islands, I’m pretty sure you, like me, are already there. It’s just the day to day that sometimes gets in the way.
