Finding Fire

                When the world was young, the early hominids began roaming the earth. They were often found in caves to help shield them from the elements, and predators. But when the sun rose, they would begin their day, basking in the warm glory that this fire ball in the sky gave them.  As the sun sank below the horizon they would return to the cave and be in utter darkness

                Gwar, someone we would call a caveman, was very observant of things around him. He would sit on the edge of his cave during the occasional thunder storms and watch. The streaks of light across the sky amazed him. Gwar could see that off in the distance that whenever the light would seem to hit the ground but he didn't see it happen.  But a short amount of time after, a monstrous rumble would sweep across the land.

                Then, an intense light erupted out of the clouds and struck a tree not too far from Gwars cave. The light was gone in an instant but a dim light remained on the ground, the light flickered and began to grow. Soon a whole tree was glowing with an orangey-red tint. Filled with interest, Gwar left his cave and ventured over to the source of the light. As he walked up to it, he heard a crackling and a black cloud loomed overhead, neither of which were familiar to him. Gwar could see the lighted tree and as he neared, a strong wave of heat washed over him.

                Gwar approached the tree and stared in awe at this hot light he is looking at. As Gwar watched this tree get reduced to a pile of glowing pieces of wood, he poked a stick around in it in an attempt to turn the light back on. But his stick now had the hot light dancing and flicking on the end of it. He now had the power to carry around the light, and when he touched it to most anything else, the light would spread. Once he returned home he showed the light to his caves-people and the rest is history.
