Carrot Ranch Challenge – 1/4/18
99 words exactly – Prompt – Copper Country
Ray, Arizona
Atop Teapot Mesa, a Great Spirit
cast sad eyes over the mile deep mine below. He had witnessed mountains
grow tall and rivers gouge deep. He had never seen creatures as
destructive as these puny humans busy carving out the base of his home. Did they not understand they were only
hastening their own destruction?
Great Spirit shrugged. He was but a witness tasked with remembering
all that he saw and reporting back to Her.
He was her eyes. It would be up
to Her how to handle these ingrates and the overwhelming insults they heap onto
her back.

I liked where you went. An interesting perspective, the mesa standing witness for Mother Earth.
