Sunken Perimeter

Advancing past the moss fissure, I encountered a wide terracotta saucer resting beneath a ceramic pot. A shallow reservoir of rainwater had gathered in the sunken center, trapping a pale pebble and a curved beetle shell like relics on a reef bed. The midday sun reflected sharply off the murky water. Planting my boots along the rough clay rim, I lowered the tip of my trident into the pool to test its depth. The silt parted slowly, revealing a small, oxidized metal washer submerged beneath the leaf silt. I pinned the washer firmly in place, establishing direct command over this miniature trench. #DC #DCComics #TheDrowned(BryceWayne)
