RE: STACH Short Story Contest #14: 199 words, 15SBD prize pool!

in #contest7 years ago

Life as we know, what we want is not all we get, just like a boy who had waited for the expected moment after many days of training for the school 100 metres competition. Being the first to step out, getting to the finish line, nobody equalled him, he snatched the victory. Those brief happy moments was forever in his mind. “from now on i always want to be the first, the best "

In his years of study he sought to be an outstanding student, have high academic performance to maintain the scholarship he achieved, hours of sleeplessness. He got the prize, being constantly student of the year.

Then at work always wanting to standout, understood he needed his work as his only source of income,struggling to obtain the recognition of his superiors and fortunately he got his dream position in the company.

With passage of time, forming a home and having a goal to provide for his loved ones did not become a reality, he found out he had no seed in him.

The heartbreak knowing all his efforts was in vain, there was no one to fight for.
