Synopsis: What is a huge cookie-shaped slab of earth doing in the middle of nowhere?
Excerpt:
The "something" turned out to be a flat, right-side-up slab of earth. It was about two feet thick, with a pear-shaped crown of mowed grain and wild grass. It was ten feet long at its longest point and almost eight feet at its widest point. Its rim, Rick recalled, had a smooth wall, and it looked as if it had been cut by a giant pear-shaped cookie cutter.
Question:
The slab of earth that Rick Timm found in the middle of the wheat field
- looked like a giant pear-shaped cookie.
- appeared to be made of solid rock.
- consisted of a small patch of wild grass.
- was shaped like a large dairy cow.
