Lately, simple stones have taken on the heft of enormous boulders. It could be that our gravity has changed, or that these rocks are newly made of a matter with greater density. I'm ever an enthusiast for Greek myth, its stories penned far away in fertile fields of elites bred from the straying loins of finely flawed gods. That's what I tell most, but I couldn't tell you any details about twelve labors, monsters taken, torn asunder. Hercules must have shouldered his burdens, I imagine, froth at the mouth, drawing on his inner strength to support the brunt of a weighty world's cares. Or was that Atlas? The question may be moot, examining my own thighs.
