Flint and Friction
Fingernails scrape against gritty resistance, prying a flint scraper from its bed among the sandstone ripples. Tiny mineral fractures intersect with intentional notches, where microscopic precision once interrupted this slow sedimentation. Coarse granite grit trapped within translucent amber resin suggests an ancient struggle to impose order upon the wilder world. In the quiet light, these jagged fragments settle into a singular, heavy stillness.
