STORY STARTER
Write a short story that follows an archaeologist excavating a city 500 years from now.
What has lasted 500 years, and what hasn’t? What do they discover, and what goes unfound?
Disneys Downfall
“They discovered it last week, it’s estimated to be at least 500 years old. It was different than other city’s we’ve found, five castles that we’ve uncovered.” My assistant informed me as we found our seats on the plane. “Yesterday they found a statue, of a man and a rodent. There’s said to be several other discoveries of the said rodents appreciation. Tokens, signs, a few carts of sorts, even entire buildings!”
“All of just this odd rodent? Do we know what kind it is?” I ask.
“Yes Mam. We believe it to be a type of mouse.”
“Ugh I hate those, they’re always scurrying around my dig sites!” I grumble. “Is it possible that it was some sort of died out religion? A civilization of mice worshippers?”
“I believe you might be onto something mam!”
