Gig
My rock’s name is Gig. I found Gig at Sand Dune Park. I was walking by when something caught my eye. I walked over and picked it up. It was a rock. It was the right size and color, and it smelled like warm butter.
It is gray-beige with some brown. It has small holes in it and one large crack. It is smooth and the size of two marbles squashed together.
My rock used to be four rocks: a brown rock, a crumbly black rock, a beige rock, and a gray rock. They were all on the sea shore, and the waves kept smashing at them. They pounded together, and eventually became one rock.
Twenty years later part of the ocean dried up, and my rock was left next to a big sand dune (which is now Sand Dune Park). About a hundred years later I arrived and happened to see it, so it’s now my rock!
