A while ago, an idea was bantered around to write stories based on each
of the Ten Commandments.  The idea intrigued me on a purely technical
basis.  I volunteered to write a story based on what I thought would be
the hardest Commandment to write about.  This is the result.

For once, I have to say I rather like this story.  I'd like your
opinion.  It's also the shortest story I've ever written.

I wouldn't touch a thing.  :)

What do you think of the title?  I thought to use "Heart of the Stone",
until one of my pre-readers pointed out it was a bit derivative.  I
could use "Stone's Heart", but I don't like the way that sounds.

Lend me the stone strength of the past and I will 
        lend you 
The wings of the future, for I have them.
