Rhythmic Gravity
Iron strikes against the heavy stone with a rhythmic, bone-deep thud that sends grit scattering across the floor. Each blow aims to bisect the rough surface, yet the hammer only uncovers more of the hidden geode's jagged, crystalline heart. As the dust settles in the dim light, the repetitive impact reveals how much has been lost to the singular motion of the swing. A quiet stillness finally rests upon the fractured rock, leaving only the glint of quartz amidst the debris.
