Thunderseeker
A Micro-fiction of a Prehistoric Human Named Thunderseeker
My name is Thunderseeker. I was born during the worst thunderstorm in memory. The elders claim it a sign of my power.
My whole life, I've sought thunder. I love to feel it in my bones.
And so I often seek out storms - or the bison herds for ground-thunder.
Each time is more dangerous than the last; my family fears my death is near. For I tempt it every time, seeking out more thunder.
I fear it now as the herd approaches; I think I've got too near. My name is Thunderseeker, but even I cannot outrun these beasts.
