Revelation (Friday Fictioneers)
Madison Woods presents Friday Fictioneers. She provides a photo prompt and then it’s up to the Fictioneers to write a 100-word story in response to the prompt. It’s challenging, it’s fun and if you like to write you might want to give it a try. To find out more, click HERE.

Revelation
No one remembered Revelation. The Tellers kept the story alive, passing the history from generation to generation; meeting in secret, in groups no larger than four, eventually they were exposed and eliminated. It may have taken the Qu’roz hundreds of years, but they had managed to erase Revelation from all of history.
Or so they thought.
The Tellers are dead but the history lives, learned only by the chosen. Da-anel is one such chosen and today – at 14 and a finally a man – he will walk the wooded path to the hidden rune and learn of a once-free Earth.
(99 words. One left in memory of the Tellers)

Concrit is always welcome but please don’t feel like you have to leave any feedback. Friday Fictioneers is about having fun for me and you leaving a message just to say “Hi” is as important to me as any feedback. And you’re always welcome to leave your link in the comments.

I’m curious to know how Da-anel knows what to do if all the Tellers are dead. There’s a lot more story here, for sure!

Thank you very much, Virginia! And feel free to feed the fish all you want. They love to eat but if they try and tell you they can eat pizza don’t believe them. They’re always begging me and I refuse so they’re resorting to some drastic measures now.

It is a good take, and intriguing. And I really enjoyed feeding your fish!

The story would have come out better if there had been a brief insight to Revelation and the Qu’roz. That’s my opinion anyway.

Daniel’s writings were a foretelling before John’s writing on Patmos. Many parallels same inspiration. Nice Michael. Hope you’ll visit mine. http://www.rochelle-wisoff.blogspot.com/2012/06/mothers-gift.html
