Colossus


Obviously, I've been failing miserably in remembering to post prompts, or attempting to come up with any at all.


Anyway, taking inspiration, albeit far removed, from the ancient Colossus of Rhodes, today, write about someone who becomes obsessed with a stone protrusion in the highlands of Russia. Having only seen pictures in passing and through acquaintances, they rapidly consume media about it, approaching religious fervor.


Later in life, they eventually travel to find this rock, bringing with them a set of chiseling tools. As the rock is nearly a hundred meters tall, and with a lack of climbing equipment, they are left to carving their way up the side, only to make a small hole for themselves at the top. Then, they begin decorating the side.


What made the rock so unique for this person? Do they document their process? What do they carve into it?


Here's to hoping I come up with something better and something to post tomorrow.
