Sticks & Stones #5

Imagine telling a story with a mud map arrangement of stones, sticks and anecdote:

Stones become stand-ins for people – elements of the story.
Scatters of stones tell of populations – groups of people.
Circles suggest a meeting – discussion.
Sticks and stones can tell a story of society.

Sticks and stones,
Broken bones,
Names and lies still hurt you
