The Seeker Part 1
…..was many an age ago when the world was new, I emerged from the primal ooze……gazing about the landscape……..looking for the outside as I was still inside even in a world so vast so full, I was still inside. Days past and the wanderings upon the earth had seen me dry, and wet, as the…
The Seeker Part 2
….walking…always walking…..the desire to rest from the relentless heat, finding cooling shadows is strong. I want to discover what happened and how did I find myself in this place…the urge to seek compels me on. The emergence from that primal ooze covered in sticky mud is now a distant memory…..but the transparent dome that covers…
The Seeker Part 3

The Seeker Part 7
I was sure the change in colour would indicate that not only the soils changed with some moisture. The digging was difficult….the ground was so hard but still shards of the hard surface would splinter off sending small pieces flying, occasionally hitting my skin causing small blood spots to appear…..my fingers also were raw and…

What was that trickling sound I thought I heard……perhaps my thirst was giving to dreams of desire……but I am sure that the trickling sound was real!!
