human history in a nutshell

human history in a nutshell

fiction
edward w pritchard

The boy sat on the barn watching the sunset and dreamed of running barbarians flanking the phalanx to get to the women hiding in haylofts of barns before they were burnt.

The girl played with an electronic barbie doll that taught her 14 languages so she could be a more compassionate Doctor or nurse.

The Mother worked the Father worried.

The People schemed and voted for old Men.

The old Men sat on the barn watching the sunset and dreamt of running barbarians flanking the phalanx to get to the women hiding in haylofts of barns before they were burnt.

The Earth over heated the animals vanished the Sky cried.
