Author's Notes: I had a go at something original as I was too chicken to post the fanfic ones I'd written to this prompt.

When she finds the sacred well, this curious visitor, she isn’t alone. A man of indeterminate age is seated by the rim, limbs folded into the classical lotus position, eyes closed.

She wonders whether his meditation has achieved the proper state of no-mind or if he’s attuning himself to cosmic vibrations.

The wooden well cover is raised. Peering down, the cold glitter of water is deeper than she’d imagined. There are ferns growing between the lining stones, reaching up to the light. Surprising.

Her eyes trace the two decorated interlocking circles that form a design claimed as ancient. She wonders.

Great imagery being used in this passage. It paints a very serene scene.

You should post your fanfic if you do them.

Thanks! I'd forgotten how hard it is to 'tell a story' in only a 100 words. (Like everyone else!) I'll get back into the hang of it. :)

Interesting. As meoryn says, great imagery -- I can picture the ferns. ^_^ Thanks for sharing!
