What happened proved a bit of a surprise. The plinth, as expected, focused the words’ energy. And the choice of lexicon held no difficulty: a dictionary, a few works of classic literature and a slim volume of my own modest scribblings. None of the words were new, but their order may have been unprecedented.
The beam fizzed. A man and a woman stepped into the dappled glade. They were naked and unashamed.

I could appreciate a mind that could bring this fiction into manifestation. Let’s hope when it happens it’s a benevolent mind that makes it happen.

Dear Neil,
And so we end with the beginning. The first shall be last. A little like Neil MacDonald being the last on the squares. 😉
