An Existential Curiosity

Rocking back and forth with a Magellan hat, Lennie prepares for sailing. Incoherent babbling is heard from the explorer on all fours. Items of existential curiosity, once seen from afar and distant, are now within reach. Unbeknownst of this capable ability are those that keep watch, giggles to self. Driven by wonder, soft thudding perks the ears of the canine companion. The pain of fence posts cutting through tissue leaves a snail trail on the floor. Finally making landfall, the little giant scales rectangular glass framed in wood. Pauses, send deafening echoes to the villagers safe inside, stunned in silence. Bored of this impenetrable defense, climb further to the cliff edge to peer over the brim. A village made of logs, glittered snow that sparkles on hand, little people frozen in time. With a reverse Midas touch, ends the curse of the village with the gift of flight. Awoken, the God and keeper of the village imprison your curiosity in a netted cage. 12-28-22 An Existential Curiosity Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
