A Full Heart [Second Creative Writing Challenge: Task #4]
This is a submission for @steemfluencer's writing contest, Task 4
The challenge: Write a fictional story about a real-life person, in this case, Hristo Atanasov, a legitimate good man in his own country of Bulgaria, who runs his own orphanage home for those that need help.
A Full Heart
Hristo laid on his bed, dying. He knew he was dying, and he felt no fear of that. He was old, nearing 100, but had lost count some time ago and could not be sure. He had a lived a full life, and there was no regret in his heart. His heart was full, full to bursting.
You enter the world naked, and leave the world with nothing except what you can carry in your heart. I carry my entire family with me.

Speechless.
I learned a lot from this task. I actually went down to the Google street view from your map links of Hristo's town, and wandered the streets like I actually lived there. It was a wonderful insight into the difficulties of other people.
Great read. Really enjoyed your story. You are a talented writer. 🐓🐓
Thank you for reading! This particular writing task was a bit tricky since it was based in so much reality and facts.
Beautiful. Such a tricky thing trying to honor a stranger whose life is so foreign to us, but you did it justice.
Thanks for reading! The world is full of little stories like that, I believe, but it's rare to really hear about it, and rarer still for anybody to pause and think about it.
Such a wonderful tribute to a fully lived life!

You really put a lot of research into this, which then gave you more insight on what to write. Well done!
