Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge

He arrived in The Community and they thought him odd. He would wander the fields gazing at the sky.

“Why?” they would ask.

They would go away confused.

He became focused on an activity, shaping, molding, sculpting.

Now, it is your turn.

Unlimited materials exist for expression and essential of all, earth itself, has from time immemorial, been employed as it is in these very hands, to form with beginning and simplistic expression, manifest objects of profound beauty that exemplify creativity’s most valued gift, humanity itself.
