100 Words

by

Hello and welcome to a brand new week. The last week of July, in fact. It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating the arrival of 2008 and now we’re already going to enter into August.

Today we’re going to take a break in the music and are just going to do today’s 100 Words from the prompt courtesy of Velvet Verbosity. I hope you enjoy this meme and leave me links to your responses in the comments section.

Athena reached up and caressed the marble pillars, beautiful, cold, silent witnesses to a time long past. They had stood so proud and tall then, when they represented the beauty of current design instead of remnants of history. But even then they had been cold. Watching their fellow pillars fall under the violence and malice of those who could never truly understand the world.

With sigh and a final gentle caress, she left them – resisting the urge for a more intimate gesture.

But alas, her brothers and sisters were waiting for her. More relics, pillars, of an age long gone.

I rather like that one. I have always had a passion for history and the past. I’ll admit that another Mr. Frank Talbert 100 words did enter my mind – and Treasure even stepped up to say hello – but I figured it was about time for something a little different.

And there you have it. Remember to leave your link if you participate on your blog. I always like to read all the different ways people interpret the prompts.
