Tell me a Story

During todays lesson, we were assigned to create a story based on our chosen theme. My chosen theme is primitivism.

Story:

The earliest of the kind. No form of technology to be seen. Every piece of furniture required primitive actions, craft and patience in order to sculpt rocks and minerals into objects with their own bare hands. Beauty at its finest form, where everyone communicated and worked well together right from their first gasp of oxygen. Cavemen would give and give until they could not breathe in the light anymore. Everyday was a battle, everyday was a challenge, but they would never give up. They were never too worried about the little things in life. Some even slept on the ground and felt comfort as the earth hugged them, falling into a deep sleep by the sound of rustling leaves and the comradeship of insects.

The cave was dark and cold. It was purely their own responsibility to survive and make their land feel like home, without any guidance or shortcuts. It took sufficient time and mastery to achieve the defined shapes of their sculptured objects. Effort, patience, time and skill. Abilities that an individual does not possess nowadays.
