We were just passing time by the old fairgrounds\u2014me, my nephews Malachai and Maceo\u2014when Malachai wandered upstream and found a \u201cperfect sitting rock\u201d right in the middle of the creek. It caught my attention because I knew that creek like the back of my hand\u2014and that rock had never been there before.<\/p>\n

When I called out, he said it felt warm and was \u201chumming.\u201d I moved closer and noticed the water around it shimmering strangely. Then suddenly, the entire creek went still\u2014no ripples, no flow, like time had paused. Maceo noticed too, asking what happened, but I had no answer.<\/p>\n

Malachai looked at me calmly and said, \u201cIt feels like the rock knew me.\u201d He wasn\u2019t lying\u2014he looked peaceful, like he belonged there. I told him to get off it. The moment he did, everything snapped back\u2014water moved, birds sang, the world unpaused.<\/p>\n

We walked away like nothing happened, but that night, I couldn\u2019t stop thinking about it\u2014how the rock seemed to recognize him\u2026 and how, just for a moment, the world stood still.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
