Women Dark Now

Ugh! Big news from deep-cave whispers! Two new tellings of very old, much-loved story coming! Story of four she-folk, the March sisters, many moons ago. This old tale, loved by grand-mamas and young ones around many fire circles, now has new sound. Not just same-same. New tellings got more growl, more grunt! They show life hard, life now-time, not just happy-time. One big shaman, he say these new tales make old story darker, more like shadows on cave wall. They show life tough, not always warm sun. Make brain think new thoughts about old folk. Maybe good for long winter night, make spirit strong. Not simple, sweet berry pick. More like hunting mammoth, full of danger and big choices. Grak, fire-watcher: "Me hear whispers. Old story, but new pain. Good, make me feel real! Not just sleepy time talk." Zog, mushroom gatherer: "Hmm. Me like old story. Simple, happy. New story, maybe too much worry. Me want peace, not big rumble in head." Thorn, Elder of Story-Keeping: "It good. Old tales must breathe new air. Show young ones old ways, but with new spirit. Keep memory strong, keep tribe wise." Story by Bog, from Caveman Talk Fire, on the scene.
