The “artifacts” left behind by different cultures, societies, communities, social classes, and such provide a pathway into the past. Today so much documentation such as letters and the like are stored digitally. Now it’s an email, tweet or whatever electronic medium is popular/available. The contents of archives today mean that they are more readily accessible, thus bringing the past into our lives with the touch of a button.
For this Tale Weaver challenge, write a story told by documents, (emails, blog postings, instragram and tweets allowed as documents). Be creative. Letters, maps, emails, book pages, secret service files, and the list goes on. Just make sure the reader understands what the document is (unless it’s obvious).
Have fun. Be serious or whimsical. Be modern or 18th century. Enjoy. Go weave a tale for the ages.
