Deep Dark Treasures

after using a few prompted words in a contest , a new story evolves.

Deep Dark Treasures


Gazing

the crumpled piece of paper

I see words, a garbled sketch

it seems to be directions

to some where deep in this cave.

Our excitement proves Ebullient

as my students reach and pluck gem stones

from the ceiling of this cave.

Blending with the stalagtites

these gems must have been affixed here stratigically

so not to plummet into the crevices below.

Could it have been in the mind of the owners of such treasure

to collect them later

or to eternize them in this cave.

Yoem becomes belligerent as James shoved him aside to pick up the gemstones.

Chronic Fatigue has overcame Tony

and he faints in the floor of the cave.

Devon Laxly looks on

while Sarah comes to Tony's rescue.

Yoem gives a devious chuckle

in the midst of all the excitement.

Grapling with all of my instruments and tools

I calmly give orders to exit the cave!
