Heroes Not Zombies

We humans are dedicated storytellers. We understand our lives through stories, the stories of others and the stories we tell ourselves.

We use stories to make sense of our everyday experiences and to create a coherent sense of self which runs through all the years of our life.

So when I looked at the bottom of this waterfall, through the tumbling waters which rushed between boulders and rocky banks, and saw this particular, greenish stone I thought…..”what on Earth is that??!!”

When you see a shape like this you know there’s been at least one human hand involved in its creation. Nature doesn’t make square stones like this. So, instantly, I’m thinking, who made this, why, when and how did it get here? Actually, it’s highly unlikely I’ll ever get the answers to any of those questions but I can give my imagination free reign and make a story which would explain it all.

Why don’t you have a go?

What story could you tell to explain this stone and how it ended up at the bottom of a waterfall?
