Held fast by the current, the sticks seemed to strain against the immovable object, trying to break free, but to no avail. Luckily, it would remain there until it became water logged, then sink to the bottom forever mired in plain view of the world around it, but stuck just like life. You dream about what lies ahead. And then something grabs you for the rest of your life. You're stuck. Shanice swatted at an insect hovering near her brow and cursed when she succeeded only in slapping herself in the face. Are you all right? The voice took her by surprise. She whipped her head around, annoyed that she had not heard anyone approaching. I've been looking for you, young man said, Aren't you coming to the ceremony? Wouldn't that be wonderful? She have to the stone and hurled it into the river.
