It’s here, I can feel it in my bones. I’d been searching for it for years, my prize was within reach. My body literally vibrated with anticipation.

Of course, X did not mark the spot like in the adventure movies; my favorites. The disc would be priceless, not only due to its age and beauty but more so, the message it carried. It was said the hand of God himself had inscribed the monolithic disc with the words that would save our race.

The ground shook. Earthquake! I hear the crack of glass above me.

    Gypsie, in my mind, it was her awareness of the power of the disk that alerted forces of evil to come and try to destroy it. Am I close? I hope the disk is protected and protects her. Exciting story!

    Oh yes, Gypsie. Peeps who live in earthquake zones should not have glass ceilings. Well done.

    If only we could read the message, instead of it being some religious crypto, then we would all be living in harmony. Ah well too late.

    Great take on the prompt! Maybe breaking glass ceilings is the answer, huh? 😉

      Thank you. Good news – no fever for 24 hours! Still coughing and too weak to even get to the bathroom by myself but I think I’ve turned a corner! 😊
