Listen "Cloaked in Clay"
Episode Synopsis
A sculptor working through a creative block notices something strange about the sculptures molded from a particular brand of clay. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction Excerpt: They say that a sculptor doesn't create what she sculpts. She only reveals what is already there in the medium. I was not finding that to be true. Either there was nothing to be revealed in the lump of clay that sat on the workbench before me, or I didn't have the skill that a real sculptor is supposed to have. The skill of sight. The skill to see what it is that is seeking to be revealed in the medium. Come on, I thought. Reveal yourself. CREDITSStory: "Cloaked in Clay" Copyright © 2018 by Nila L.
