Today's #flashfiction #Lineage

“A fool and his money are soon parted.”
Mr. T* #quote


       Cj came over as was planned and much fun is being had. Huzzah and yay and woot and all that. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

Lineage

       The volcanoes covering the Earth and spout out heat and destruction so often it seemed like the Earth breathed fire. So many things had been churned and stewed into the atmosphere the Sun glowed less brightly through the sky than it does today. This Fire Age happened billions of years ago and the tormenting environment would be a quick death for most modern creatures.
       But in the Fire Age appeared something, or someone depending on how you think of things, very special. Archeological records show that this is when this someone appeared. The exact reasoning why God would pick such a violent era for this someone to appear into existence is something that only He may ever know.
       The someone, or something depending on how you think of things, is our great-great-great-times-so-many-you-could-never-count ancestor. A little bacteria that who's evolution would lead to you, your family, your friends, neighbors, the birds singing in the trees, the trees, the grass, the worms, the dogs, the cats, and everything else. His story happened in the Fire Age, where he lived and multiplied to create the start of his lineage and legacy. Like him, our story will happen in our age and we'll make our lineage and legacy.
