Here is the prompt for the week. I won’t lie to you. I made this week’s challenge a bit tougher than normal, but I think you can handle it! The prompt definitely suggests a certain genre of story, but don’t let yourself feel hemmed in by the obvious choice! Toss that first impulse away and run with what comes to mind next!
As usual, you only get 100 words, left in the comments here or at your own web space with a link back to this post, please! Come and tell us your best story!

“Miss Clawson?”
“Yes Jimmy.”
“Those craters tell quite a story.”
“Yes, you’re quite right Jimmy, but don’t forget to watch the shadows, they hold many secrets too.”
“Miss Clawson?”
“Yes Sarah Jane?”
“Did our ancestors destroy themselves?”
