Opening (live prose)
The sun had not yet reached its zenith the next day when the watcher returned. There was no hesitation this time, no quiet observation from the periphery. They walked with a soft, steady purpose, their eyes not on the artisans, but on the work itself. Without a word, they bent down, their hands finding the cool, rough stone.
