Heavy footsteps were heard as they approached the object. “Hmmm” Bogg said to his companion, Bink. “What do you think this is?”

Bink looked it over carefully, lifted up one of the corners and decided it was not dangerous. “It looks harmless. Could it be the instructions you were looking for when you were trying to make improvements to that heavy barrow we’ve been dragging around to bring wood from the forest?”

“Hmmm, maybe. I’ll try some of them. It would be nice to make life easier.”

“That’s what you said when you made the barrow”.

PROMPT WORD:  WIND

***

Wind is no stranger to me now that I live in Cheyenne. Planes have been tested here at our small airport because of it. I don’t really need a calendar to figure out when winter is coming because when the winds start getting stirred up, you know that cold and snow are not far behind. An anomaly was seen this morning when I woke up to 3°. I looked out the window and it was like a winter wonderland, all the trees bushes, etc. were magically covered in frosted snow. Apparently the wind took a break, and instead of looking at half covered trees, they were completely covered beautifully.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt

Political groups have their theories as does education, property tax managers, religious groups, hate groups, white supremacist groups, black lives matter groups, and of course, a lot of old time fundamentalists, with their bible toting groups. Holocaust denier groups, moon landing denier groups, ban books and radical sports groups, even podcasts or radio personalities have theirs. Do not forget the most infamous theorists: Jim Jones, David Koresh and Charles Manson, and The People’s Temple. Many people have died believing their theories.

**This writing takes the word theory’s definition: “a set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based”
