The First Writer
He sat and thought, though he didn't know he was thinking. The meat was slowly roasting over what they would later call “fire” as he and the others sat and thought, though they didn't know it, either. Slapping at the small creature that was crawling in his beard, he knocked it to the floor of the cave. He had learned that the front end could hurt him, so he picked it up by the the other end, contemplated it for a moment, then popped it into his mouth and bit down. Immediately, his gag reflex told him that had been a mistake and he spat it back into his hand.

Last Friday Evening. Content Warning.
With a quiet sigh, Robert pushed himself up from the love seat, slowly transferring his weight to his tired joints. Clicking the remote on his armrest, he silenced the news anchor. He turned to Loretta, she, still staring wide-eyed at the now dull gray screen and he, admiring the way the pattern of soft light and shadow from the blinds traced the contours of the face he still adored.

Well, Whadaya Know - the Big Five-Oh (Oh, Oh). Top Story - September 2023.
What I'm Doing Here The subject of Vocal milestones came up in a comments conversation with my friend across the pond, Paul Stewart a few days ago. In that discussion, we both mentioned that we had one "right around the corner." Neither of us gave anything away at the time, but I'm going to put mine out there today, and I'm late in doing so.

Some words a human “saw” spelled out in a web? Puh-leeez! Probably imagined it. They imagine all sorts of things.
