STACH Short Story Contest #29: My Entry

Here is my entry for the STACH writing contest with theme: DOWN ON BENDED KNEES.. Details of the contest on this link.

Catie have been trying to figure out her purpose in life as she felt she was just running into circles. She started to felt that way when her beloved relative passed away and it has been years. But still the painful memories were seemed to be just a moment of yesterday.

Down on her bended knees she asked God for guidance. She suddenly realized that she cannot just let herself feel all those pains and need to at least move on in the present. Catie said to herself, "It is not forgetting, it is more like accepting that there are people in our lives who we can never see alive again." She started to try recalling happy memories instead of the sad ones.

She started to feel more alive again and learning how to enjoy what life has to offer for a moment. Down on bended knees, she began praying with a thankful and stronger heart. As what have been said so many times already, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.”
