Yeah, I think someone pointed that out when I first posted the Stone Age prompt. It is a fun one! That's one of the problems I've had with thinking about a longer, more serious fic, though, is avoiding anachronisms in the language and text. I mean, I can't have them saying 'God' or 'Christ', can I? I can't use analogies that have to do with computers or any modern contrivances. No mind palaces either, because they didn't have buildings. A mind cave? The whole thing goes beyond just keeping the setting prehistoric.
