A stone

nothing too see here, literally just a normal stone. They stood before it—the stone. Unremarkable. Unmoving. Unchanged by time or touch. No strange markings, no celestial glow, no whisper of ancient secrets. Just a lump of earth, shaped by erosion and indifference. And yet… they couldn't look away. Write the scene from a third-person perspective. Make it dramatic. Poetic. Apocalyptic, even. Pretend the fate of the universe hinges on this one, completely ordinary, absolutely average stone.
