Legendary Circles


The Gods and Goddesses gathered in the Great Hall on Mount Olympus, for their daily view on the affairs of the mortals who live on the Earth beneath them. They always enjoyed looking down on the ordinary folk, in case someone stood out with a special ability.

One day they noticed Gerald. Nothing to write home about looks wise, slightly podgy in fact, with a receding hairline, but he had a special ability. He was a writer, writing a tale about a group of Gods and Goddesses who were so caught up in the affairs of others, they’d forgotten themselves.

      Thanks, again, Shree. That was what I was aiming for with this one, how we can, sometimes, do so much for others we don’t take time out for ourselves. Well, one of the aims anyway… πŸ˜€
