Even life in Ancient Mesopotamia had Challenges

CAVEMAN FUNK, a novelette by Lancer Kind

Young Akiya is the runt of a tribe that’s legendary for feats of strength. So Akiya prefers feats of intelligence but that gets him no respect from his peers. He get’s into more trouble when he accidentally disrupts his tribe’s corner-on-the-market of hauling goods due to his invention using levers, which becomes so popular that the neighboring tribes no longer require hauling services. To make matter worse, music television marketeers from the future are meddling with the culture of the region. At first Akiya is excited by the strangers but then realizes that there is a danger in becoming dependent. But the strangers’ pull is drawing the youth away from their tribes.

Akiya must find a way to save his people: join EmTeeVee with its technological magic or join with his elders who have rejected him.

Caveman Funk, a novelette available on Amazon’s Kindle.
