So Much to Learn (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index Kpleeb’s excitement grew as his conversations with Thoka continued. Not only was he starving for cavehuman interaction, but her big, brown eyes glowed with a certain fascinating intelligence. It was clear to him that her mind worked over-time, and Kpleeb felt challenged by the way she constantly probed at everything she saw. He … Continue reading So Much to Learn (Caveman Chronicles)

Fishin’

My morning came early. Having gone to bed around 11:30pm, I passed out quickly. Unfortunately, one of the guys is an early riser and my bed is directly behind the kitchen. This is not something I calculated when we discussed who gets which room. Oops. So now I awake at 5:10am, very groggy, and try … Continue reading Fishin’

Thoka (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index Thoka rolled over and stretched slowly. The moon was dim, and the sun had not yet begun to shine, but she had always been an early riser. There was something tremendously peaceful about the quiet and cool morning hours. As a little girl, she remembered waking early to draw shapes in the sand … Continue reading Thoka (Caveman Chronicles)

The closest shape had been the thin, green … Continue reading Substructure (Caveman Chronicles)

Golden light filtered by spotty, white clouds glinted off the water in a warm and pleasant way. It felt like a fresh beginning of the hotening on the tundra. A faint cry … Continue reading Level Two (Caveman Chronicles)

A Wish (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index It was dark when Kpleeb awoke, and he could not understand why he woke apart from his normal time. He raised his head, and looked around. The moon was barely visible in its most dim state on the ceiling above, but the sun had not yet begun to glow. He could sense no … Continue reading A Wish (Caveman Chronicles)

It’s true…

Donnie Yen rocks. That is all.

Understanding the Cave (Caveman Chronicles)

The Index Many moments had passed, but not so much as much as half a sun-cycle since Kpleeb had thought of a way to see inside the defecation pit inside the cave. A hunch had formed inside his small -but growing- caveman brain. The water in the outcropping filled at his command and the stone … Continue reading Understanding the Cave (Caveman Chronicles)
