Edge
“It was the site they had chosen to face the end.
A series of narrow gorges snaked off from the top of the cliffs, creating a panoramic vista of conical and pointed rock faces, a topography striving for the sky. Odd pockets of weeds growing through narrow crevices in the stone walls provided occasional accents of green across the otherwise dull and gray landscape.
The devout used ropes to suspend themselves over the cliff edge and dug away at the rock face until they had a cave large enough to a...ccommodate all that had assembled. Once the digging work was completed, they began decorating the interior of the cave. Using chisel-like tools, they carved away at the inside walls, transforming the flat surfaces into an explosion of flowers.
Their work on the interior finally completed, the people gathered together in the cave and prayed as one to the barren land. Then they sat, piously waiting for the end, full of faith in the divine prophecy they had received.
Their vigil continued for days. Each morning, when the sun rose from the horizon below, the devout continued to offer their prayers.MoreLess
