Creative Writing Challenge: The Unrequited Love Story (vol. 2, task 7)
Hello guys,
It's pretty October already and seems like we are evidents of a whole new drama this season. I'm trying to avoid commenting what's happening out there, but it's always knocking on the door. It's not good to be indifferent and of course I'm not. But let's continue this branch of our conversation for another post.
I'm already planning what kind of surpsise to offer you at the end of this challenge. You see, I'm not even rewarded as much as I could be, but this time will come. Persistence, patience, love are things we need to cultivate through our WHOLE life. It's like taking care of your own garden. Stop paying attention and you'll soon see weeds growing. It's simple as that.
So, last time you had to be creative about continuing a story in a hospital nearby the lovely Chicago :) Here's your version of the story how Adam ended up lying on a bed in a hospital.
And guys, never forget that it wouldn't be possible to enjoy a 75 SBD reward without the kind contributions of our sponsors.

Unrequited Love.
Task #7: The Unrequited Love Story
Adam: Charles, are we still in the hospital.
Charles: Yes sir, after my last story you fell asleep.
Adam: Good. Charles, may I share something with you? I'd like to tell about one of the girls I really fell in love with.
Charles: I'd love to hear that story sir. Let me pour you a glass of water.
Adam: Thank you Charles! You are so kind. So, here we go. I was 22 years old only. The last time I fell in love was maybe 8 years ago. ...
Your task guys is to continue Charle's story. Women could write about from Eva's perspective.
Some guidance:
Build characters in few sentences, introduce them to each other AND... you decide how to continue - be gentle, be nasty, be yourself - it's your own decision. And if you heart is big enough, share how your character overcame the whole situation, at least in a short paragraph at the end of the story.
As mentioned above women could write from a girl/woman perspective and men could write about men.
Additional comment:
I think one exercise about unrequited love is enough for the next 10 creative writing challenges :))) Do you agree?
Keep writing,
@steemfluencer
And this is @kubbyelizabeth's story that was submitted on time, however it wasn't tracked here: https://steemit.com/story/@kubbyelizabeth/birthmonth-day-nine-the-love-story-that-shouldn-t-have-been
That kubby chick is such a mess!
I think this is the first challenge that directly involves LOVE. Hmm....I don't know what to do with that :)
Update:
I figured out what to do with it:

Strange, isn't it?
Hopefully you've managed to gain some experience in the romance genre :)
Hi @steemfluencer, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.
If you’d like to nominate someone’s post just visit the Steemit Ramble Discord
I have just read it. It's awesome. Yeah, participants in the Challenge deserve being nominated every time. I could mention the Ramble Discord in the next post as an opportunity for the guys to nominate their fellows and will personally nominate someone's post.
Here's my contribution. Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you! :)
Pretty interesting. I am very interested
Nice to hear that. What could be the next step then?
Gotta get my creative juices flowing, running out of steem of late. Just a couple more tasks......I can do it!
Come one, this one is easy.
Yep, I got the creative juices flowing. Here ya go! Task #7 - Here's a Lil' Diddy
Hi there! I love the idea of this new challenge, just a quick question since I didn't participate in the last one, if we would like to write in Eva's perspective, we should just change the name Adam for hers, right? Can't wait to submit an entry!
Yeah, that's correct. Write from Eva's perspective. Charles could be still Charles, but he is not that important. Pay attention to the main story according to the task.
