Rock-Eating Ice


A few days ago as the bridge workers wrapped up their job, they threw a rock on the ice just downstream of the bridge to check if it would bear a person's weight.  The term rock-solid could be used for the ice itself that day.  Footprints crossing the center of the river proved it.

Since then, the rock sank day by day, despite the below freezing temperatures.  As of today, it was gone.

The frozen river 
took the stone in slow motion, 
gravity winning.
