《Just a Rock》Chapter 63: Just a Statue
Advertisement
The gem carver really lost his head with his recent failure and defaced a local monument. Realizing it couldn't be fixed, he fled the scene after gathering his stuff so no evidence would be left behind. Soon enough this incident was discovered by others passing by and they hung their heads low in sadness and anger.
A single ruby was left on the ground, forgotten by the faceting man in his rush to leave and knocked away in his rampage. The locals took this gem and used it to hire a new sculptor, a professional who carved a new head into the remaining prism, even relenting to the pressure from his employers to make the nose upside down. Like that, the monument was restored, if not a bit shorter than before.
Left on the ground was the old head with the rock's lesser half as its nose. At this point, it was pretty much a rock again as no one bothered to take care of it as the seasons passed and it weathered down into an indistinguishable lump. The formerly loose cylinder that bound the rock to its likeness had now fused with the surrounding material, dragging the lesser rock with it. For it was now one and the same, no longer parts of a whole but the whole itself.
However, the new statue was not as popular as the old one. Visitors began to come less often, only passing by out of necessity rather than to see the landmark. Just another oddity in the forest, like a tree trunk that resembles a face, it went from an amazing thing that everyone wanted to see, touch, and feel, something to relate with and interpret, to just there. 'Oh yeah, that was a thing,' would pass through the minds of anyone who passed by, and would leave their thoughts just as fast.

Dekker's Dozen: The Last Watchmen
When a demon-possessed tree tries to impose its will on the universe, the future turns dark. But what does Dekker want? The leader of the only mercenary squad capable of standing in the enemy's way would be content if his ex-girlfriend and business partner promised not to stab him again. As he and his eleven teammates track down the intergalactic assassin who stalked his family for generations, they encounter Ezekiel, a mysterious man claiming to be a time-traveler and ancient prophet. Ezekiel claims Dekker will responsible for the annihilation of all reality--but worse, he knows all of Dekker's secrets: that he wields an ancient, celestial weapon, was once married to a terrorist, and is the last member of the Watchmen--an ancient secret society with one purpose. At Ezekiel's insistence, and with a super-weapon in the hands of warring armies, Dekker and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Sun's annihilation before his archenemy can bring what Ezekiel calls "the divine engines of reality" to a grinding halt--breaking all of existence--destroying all that is, will be, and ever was!

Someday someone will find this and I hope they will read every chapter.I am still overly embarrassed to write such little poems, imagine my family finds out. ,:O__________________________________________Well I don't know if that's poetry but still, for me it is. I try to write my feelings down and I provide little prompts that all occurred on real experiences or real situations. (mostly)__________________________________________I pretty much have many random thoughts I do not wanna talk about or keep to myself.Most of the chapters are issues that don't have a connection to me though.__________________________________________>>>I do not know if the poems need trigger warnings but if they do I definitely will put them in before the chapter starts.__________________________________________Oh, and I also drew the cover at 3 in the morning with 4 years old chalk. :DWell I did not plan to actually start a wattpad story or whatever you could call it but the cover somewhat matches.Let's not talk about the bad quality though. :D__________________________________________ The 07.09.2022
