“What’s that?”
“What’s what?”
I nodded at the structure. “Them.”
“Oh, them. Them’s the Elders.”
“What elders?”
“The Elders that were here before we came.”
“But nothing was here before we came.”
“The Elders were here.”
I looked at her. She was joshing me, yea? “When?”
“In the Elder Times; when else, of course.”
I didn’t believe her. There was nought but a mud-bank here before we came.
Because to me, they look like three elders, with heads together, discussing what now to do with the town. Though I suppose they could be wishbones. The giant Roc perhaps?
Elders from a mysterious place seems more appropriate.

Wonderful! They do look like “Elders” with their heads together… or giant wishbones, for that matter… Hope this doesn’t influence my own story 😉

Very. It’s probably constructed from bits of boats, if we but knew it.

The zoo near here did a series where people made animal sculptures from beach garbage. It was a statement, a reuse, and an art piece. I liked that.

Very good! ‘Elders’ works, but you really hit on a unique & great idea with ‘wishbones.’

Thank you, Deborah. I almost forgot to do it, so busy this week. So it was, quite literally, whipped up in a trice. Though perhaps at a subconscious level it had been brewing.

Could definitely be Elders. . .or perhaps they’re the children, and the Elders are much bigger and coming back for them. 🙂
