The Genesis Project – Day Seventeen
“So, what’s it like, digging up GRAVEYARDS for a living?”
“We don’t dig up cemeteries so much as civilizations,” Nailah says, reaching for her ice tea. “It’s like a big treasure hunt, only in slow motion.”
“I don’t think I’d have the patience for it,” says Paulina, settling her napkin in her lap.
Nailah leans forward with a conspiratorial grin. “I bet you do! Think of all the mysteries lying beneath the soil, waiting for you to discover them. You’d be hooked inside a week.”
Paulina laughs. “Girl, you know I love a good mystery. Where do I sign up?"
