What is recorded here

Graveslab in Portlecka is a broken stone cross under the east window of Ruan Church, its only remaining letter M on a lost name. It stands slightly tapered, split in two places, small enough to touch but old enough to have watched the church rise and fall around it. The missing words may have belonged to a person, a prayer or a warning, yet the stone still points upward through its damage.
