Hello
I have never shared something , but i would like to get your feedback about my first attempt writing a short story .really a short one.
My life was randomly lived. I was wretched, kind hearted, and poor. I was looking for heaven on earth, which was overwhelmed with devils. Exhausted, fearful and pessimistic, my life was like a forgotten book beneath a mound of dust in a cellar. No shelter to protect me from the hungry wolves that were strolling down streets. They were waiting for the gloomy moment to rape my innocence. I was weak, but I tried to hide it. My feelings were fading just as my memory .I was such a piece of beauty yet, the dust covered all over my face .Only my blue-ocean eyes were visible. Everyone escaped me to avoid my rotten smell. I hated the smell too and I wished I could take a warm shower. I was starving to death even though I fed myself from restaurants ‘garbage. Death might be better than my life, but I thought of my corpse; where would be buried and by whom or would be a prey for organs merchants? All these reasons pushed me to struggle to live this miserable life. No friends, no family and no lover. Just me and the sky that witnessed my everyday life. I had been living the same way until a miracle happened once. An old woman took care of me since I had saved her life from incontestable death. She was about to be killed by a nasty thief and I got injured instead of her. I woke up that morning feeling some pain on my leg and confronted by the senior woman, who said kindly ‘you seem better’. I told her my life story and without reluctance she decided to adopt me.
Finally, I had a family, home, and warm shower...eventually my wish became true even they say « Ask for hopes instead of wishes ».
