The town of Bottomless Well was famous for one reason only.
No one could ever remember any water being drawn from the well. Yet, thanks to its purported wish granting properties, people still visited from miles around.
The well was meant to be a mystery, like God or a woman’s heart; it was better not knowing where the bottom lay.
When scientists discovered that the floor reached exactly 36 feet and 7 inches underground, and that the peculiar convex shape and absorptive qualities of the rock prevented any sound from escaping, the villagers pragmatically changed the name. Life carried on as before.
