Samit stood at the window. Outside, it was raining cats and dogs.
The weather reflected his mood, the uncertainty of the situation eating into his peace of mind.
He tried hard to disguise his feelings about the hopelessness of the situation but failed miserably.
Gloomily he looked at the road below and a thought began to grow in the back of his mind.
He looked again. Longer this time with steely determination in his eyes.
No, it will not be a death sentence, rather a life sentence for him.
Yes, he will push himself to live till his last breath.

I second that.
You are awesome, Vinay! Thank you for all your support! 🙂
Thank you soooo much, Bhavya. Without you guys, this post might have never seen the light of the day ♥
It’s very important to live life to the fullest, even counting down to the end. 🙂 Loved that ending.
True, despite the tough times, we can still see beauty in each day. Thank you, Vinay and truly appreciate your support in writing this piece! 🙂
Live life to the fullest today.
Yes, for we never know what’s in store tomorrow.
How have you been SG! Hope all’s good with you!
Yes we need to live our life to the fullest – good to see he is giving it al he got too!!
True, we must live to the fullest despite all the obstacles, for we cant stop the waves, but we can surely learn to surf!
I liked that he chose life over death though the situation seemed hopeless. Its a neat story bringing out the person’s anguish.
Yes, glad that he chose optimism despite a bleak future. Thanks Lata!
While there’s life there’s hope that there will be turnaround for him. Glad you made him choose life over death.
True, because when we choose hope, anything is possible. Thanks Tulika.
Choosing life over death and fighting things out is more important and courageous.
Well said. One has to be fearless and move ahead. We cant live life by fearing what comes next.
As always, love your twists! 🙂 Glad he has hope
Thank you so much, Sanch!
Good that better of him decided to live on. Its definitely a bigger punishment than ending the life in a moment. And who knows, may be the situation will improve or may be he will be able to forgive himself and start afresh!
A pithy tale!

True that. Just because something isn’t happening for us right now, doesn’t mean that it will never happen. All we need is hope and patience. Thanks Anagha!
Not giving up and fighting every adversity is what differentiates between winners and losers. Good writeup.

How beautifully you craft a story in 100 words Shilpa! Live the life whatever happens. Good one.
Thanks a lot, Jayanthy!
Determination is needed for every living thing be it a plant or a human being.
Yes, determination is important for where there is no vision / goal, there is no hope!
Determination is needed for every living thing be it a plant or a human being. That is the soul result of being successful.
Well said, Geethica!
Glad to see a positive attitude. Not an easy thing to do in the face of adversity.
Yes, it’s easy to give up when faced with challenges, but a positive attitude can help to overcome them.
It’s best to give it your all and fight to the finish! Good for him!
True that!
Your piece dwells into the minds of someone who can see his end and yet chooses to live with hope. Beautiful
I like the way you think, Neha. Loved this interpretation. 🙂
I like the change of attitude and the flicker of hope in your story, Shilpa.
Great read!
Thanks Mayuri!
The difference when you are the edge of the cliff, both metaphorically and literally. Some give in, others decide this isn’t how it ends.
Well said, it’s all about our attitude. People give up sometimes too soon, they dont realize that many times it’s the last key that opens the door!
Thoughts are all that matter, guiding our mind and changing direction to a positive outcome. Good story.
True. We are shaped by our thoughts. So it’s important to choose the one that leads to happiness… to love… to life!
Loved the ending!
Thank you Heidi!
Some ends lead to new beginnings. Glad this story ended on a hopeful note.
Yes, obstacles do not block the path… they are the path…
Thanks Payal!
Hope is only way to survive in tough situations. Loved how story took turns.
Cheers
