The Sunday Whirl presents twelve words for us to use in a creative writing piece.  

This weeks words are: 

hungers until garden frayed tattered belonging spirits body salvage history walk stories

Not in the spirit.

"Until the lions have their historians, 

tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter,"  

-- African proverb.

History is a succession of stories.

Agincourt belonging to England;

Caesar a tattered body in the forum;

The garden of Eden, snake and apple;

Moses walked the desert for forty years,

A trip Google says should take six hours.

In a society that hungers for glory

The fabric of truth is frayed but protective.

Until we have a way to verify the stories

There is no way to salvage the truth.

But we don’t want the truth,

We want the triumphant, the glorious

And so the stories live on.

Somewhere, ancient sprits 

watch and weep.
