Wow! Groovy story. But you would thinks after 100+ years of being in a creek that it would have washed downstream some.

Amazing story.

Doesn't he digress that it's fiction in the last paragraph, or am I crazy ?

 

[ce550av8r]

Yes, it was fiction. I had to reread the last part to make sense of his last paragraph... But yes.

The writer has way too much time on his hands.

A good yarn though!

I believe it is fiction, still a good read. Let me know if this is the correct place to post stories. I follow a few story tellers who I've found some stories actually pan out by researching the library of Congress.

Fiction or not. You have to admit that would be cool.

 

[ce550av8r]

Yes, that would be cool to actually have that happen.

I have always heard that fiction is stranger than truth!
