Creative Writing Challenge - Task #7 -
This is my entry for @steemfluencer's Creative Writing Challenge - Task #7 - The Objects
The Challenge
Take a look at the objects below and write a story with these objects based on a predefined idea.
Here's a list of the predefined ideas:
- Without excuses: write about someone who never gave up until he has achieved a certain goal.
- Old memories: a fictional essay about someone who's sharing his most exciting story from his youth.
- A Tree of Life: a non-fictional essay about life, compromises and self-awareness.
I chose 'Without Excuses'.
Thank you.

Wow, so bleak. I really love your imagery in this, it's like reading poetry.
Thanks for reading :)
That ending... I wasn't ready and now I miss a stranger I've never met, feel the loss of a brother, and miss the person he could have been had he chosen to live.
Thank you for reading. It made me sad when I wrote it too. It's hard to create something and destroy something so quickly, but that's kind of unavoidable in a short story.
I hope your next story they all live and skip away into the forest of tomorrow. Living as long as a dream and loving life to the fullest
This is brilliant.
An entire dying universe contained in one human soul.
Thank you for the comment. That is almost exactly the impression I was going for :)
What an effective use of that quote. I physically winced at the ending. Nicely done!
Thank you for reading! I winced a bit when writing it too.

Wow! Didn't see that coming. A few tears welling up as proof...
Thanks. I felt a little (a lot?) of that when I was writing it too. Thanks for reading!
