Jar Of Dirt Novels & Stories

She looked deranged. The large room she was in was not a sight to behold either. The tiled floor was littered with pieces of broken vases and pieces of torn wall frames which were broken and torn by her. The few wall paintings that still hung on the wall had several unrepairable holes in them. The entire room was a mess.

It moved across the emptiness, leaving a trail of dark, rich brown. Suddenly, there was a sound—a deep, low rumble that shook my teeth. Beneath my feet, the "Nothing" began to take shape. It wasn't the flat metal of a stage or the red glass of the wasteland. It was **Dirt**. It was cold. It was wet. It smelled of rot and life all at once. "Kaima, look!" Rowan shouted. He fell to his knees as the ground solidified beneath him. He dug his fingers into the soil, his eyes wide with wonder. "It’s... it’s heavy. It stays under my nails. Kaima, it’s real!"

It is certain that he would be terrified if he knew I was alive because he would fear me creating a rebellion and taking back my parents' Kingdom if he knew I was still alive. In the end, I realized I was thinking about everything except finding my center. I took a deep breath for the hundredth time of the day. As I sorted the dirt in my fingers again, clearing my mind, turning my hearing into the small pebbles of dirt falling from between my fingers towards the ground, I felt the aura of the dirt slipping from my fingers as it fell towards the ground. Every piece of dirt has its own unique aura.

Levi My jaw drops to the ground when I see what’s in the pit. It’s about eight feet in diameter, more or less two feet deep. There’s a rune splashed all over it, forming the shape of a six-sided star and strange symbols that look like letters from a different language. I peer at it in horror, and I notice that on top of every symbol, there’s an open jar containing some herbs and plants and little branches, wrapped together with. . . .

Jim slowed his pace, wary of what might happen next. Without warning a fierce spray of soil issued from both of the holes, like two brown fountains sending up jets of fine earth. The soil fell on the path in front of the gate and within seconds a great mountain of dirt had formed, blocking Jim’s way to the gate. There was no way he could get around the heap of dirt without going off the path, and that’s where his pursuers lurked. He thought about trying to climb it, but it was at least nine feet high and made entirely of loose earth. Earth was their element. There might be worse things hiding in the pile than lurked at the sides of the path.

“It is not clean. There is something bitter.” Another warrior dipped a cup into the stream. The water looked clear but had a faint smell, sharp and strange. “This is not natural.” They moved further up the stream until they reached the place where water was stored in large clay jars for the feast. One of the jars was cracked open. Inside, the smell was strong. The leader of the warriors, a tall man named Jareth, bent low. He picked something from the bottom of the jar. It was a small black leaf, strange and twisted.

“I agree. Scraping up your hands aside, you have too much to lose.” “You sound like my mother,” Archer laughs. The conversation shifts from one subject to another, and by the time we’re almost done eating, I’ve finished my drink and the refill Dad got for Danielle. It doesn’t feel like I’ve had that much until I stand up and realize I’m pretty buzzed. Which is fine. But then we move onto dessert and Dean busts out a Mason jar of moonshine he got from one of the guys on the construction crew. He pours everyone but Quinn—and the kids, of course—a shot.

Why couldn't they hide a spare key under the mat like most people? A clay jar that I hadn't noticed before caught my attention. It was the only jar surrounded by a bunch of flower pots which made it look slightly out of place. I dropped the rock back to the earth and walked over to check it out. It had a small lid and looked like the perfect place to stash anything. I lifted the jar and it made a soft rattling sound in my hand. I shook it again and there were more rattles. I set it back to where it was and removed the moulded clay jar lid and shoved my hand into the opening and felt around on the inside. Something cold and metal hit my finger and I removed my hand and looked down at what was

Ding Hao glanced at it. It was indeed a very ordinary ceramic jar. The craftsmanship was extremely rough, and the sand bricks could be faintly seen. There were faint white patterns on the surface, and at the bottom of the jar, there was a pair of long ears. It seemed to be a tool used by primitive people to store water. There was no energy fluctuation or inscription. "Alas, this young man has always been stupid. A broken jar. Are you taking it as a treasure? What kind of immortal fate of Reincarnation is this..." Evil Moon opened its narrowed eyes and curled its lips with disdain.

I crossed the car quickly, scanning the overhead compartments until I spotted the red emergency sticker. I snapped it open and pulled out a fat stack of barf bags, crinkly and pale blue. Exactly what I needed. “Here!” I said, tossing a few to the nearest players. “Hold it right under your mouth. Breathe through your nose. Do not lean back.” One of the rookies was trembling so badly he couldn't open the seal. I crouched next to him, peeled the top open for him, and placed it in his hands.
