Totem

40 days and the rain came. Yellow flecks shone under the glow of the Sun. The entire Village prayed to Totem. They wept and wailed. Cried and flogged and as they began to give up all hope, the clouds gathered. The sceptics cried coincidence but the village heads set about to work. The Spirit behind the miracles was pure and unchallenged. She gave them hope despite their numerous failings. Once again their suffering had been removed.
