Ancient Ones At Dutch Woman Butte



It happened at Dutch woman butte. This
story you cannot dispute. With my very own
eyes, I saw with such suprise. Across the
lake, high up the canyon, one white
puffball cloud appeared, no problem, my
opinion. It wasn't very big and was far
away. I didn't think it would bother me
today. But! the water turned black, a
change in the wind made me look back. It
was 5 miles wide and 9 miles high. One
perfect thunderstorm filled up the sky. The
wind blew hard the water turned white. I ran
for cover but not out of sight. A waterfall
poured right out of the bottom. When I
noticed the ancient ones dancing around the
column. Flashing their lightning from the
bottom to the top. For thirty minutes
their drums didn't stop. I rubbed my eyes
and tried not to imagine. Were they real
I could not fathom.
