Forever Bridge by Aaron Listen
Beyond the tall, maturing maples of the old, Wetherbee cabin, there was a field of lavender flowers; blowing in the wind; growing beyond expectation; dancing in the sun; I attempted to count each flower.
Beyond the lavender fields, chirped the babbling brook, whose subtle whispering stream, echoed throughout the great valley; tumbling one drop after another; guiding each pebble to its next placement, where I attempted to count every drop.
Beyond the brook, a deer lay resting under its protective bush, hidden with her babies; shielded from the midday sun; keeping cautious of any sound above that of the tumbling water, where I attempted to count every breath.
Beyond the mother, and her babies was the beginning of the mountain, where the pebbles grew into stones, and then to rock, and finally to boulders; marking the landscape with their unmovable stature; growing older with every passing day, where I attempted to count every stone.
Beyond the mountains that stretched for miles, upon miles of space, laid the great beyond; the limitless, and the forever; and the bright lights filled the galaxy, where I attempted to count every star.
Beyond our conscious contemplation, and fruitless expectations, a new world is waiting to be discovered; aching to be birthed; growing to existence, and I attempted to count the days.
Beyond the endless, remarkable, and immeasurable forever comes a new day that never ends, and will never cease, and I attempted to count how many of these lives I could fit into that day; and I am still counting.

Splendid writing! I'm so happy to see you enter the contest, especially since I've been following you and your stories for quite a while now ^^
Amazing story, though! I loved how each and every paragraph was an escalation of the former and you just rounded it together so very beautifully in the end!
Thank you very much for your entry! :D
Thanks for hosting. I have never tried this before, was not sure if I could get to the 250 words. Just barely made it! I'm glad I found your post!
Well, it's not meant to be easy :P though I admit, this week's is probably one of the hardest. Perhaps I'll come up with something easier next week, who knows? :D
I'm also very happy you did!
Wow! This is great :-)
Thanks!

I'm glad you could read it! I do have a list of writing contest in our Girl Power discord, if you would like to join @chelsea88. I don't always get to join them all, but I post them as I find them :) They can get lost in my resteem feed.
Saw your post on the chat! Great writing! Really interesting prompt. I'm gonna follow you to check out what you're writing in the future.
Thanks! I have a bit of slow-write when it comes to short stories, so I tend to shy away from writing them, but the challenges are too tempting, so you may see some short stories from me, from time to time.
