Challenge of the Month II
The Gift. Write the story of a gift, passed from one hand to another. Perhaps it is a heart-warming gesture of kindness and goodwill. Or perhaps it is something more foreboding, more sinister. Perhaps it is a simple, material object. Or perhaps it is something more amorphous, more esoteric. Whatever it is, it must be a gift. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Pebble.
I stood alone gazing at the sea,
Lost amid a storm of thoughts.
Looking afar, the world so hazy,
Out of nowhere there came you.
My fingers so cold before;
Now warmed by your heat,
You lifted a pebble by my feet.
So minute so unworthy,
Placed it in my palm,
Telling me to keep calm,
As I was no longer alone.
Your presence besides me,
As solid as that stone,
A gift I had never known.
