Life Sentence #WriteBravely
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 liked that he chose life over death though the situation seemed hopeless. Its a neat story bringing out the person’s anguish.
October 25, 2017 9:07 pm|
Yes, glad that he chose optimism despite a bleak future. Thanks Lata!
October 10, 2017 10:02 am|
While there’s life there’s hope that there will be turnaround for him. Glad you made him choose life over death.
October 25, 2017 9:11 pm|
True, because when we choose hope, anything is possible. Thanks Tulika.
October 10, 2017 11:56 am|
Choosing life over death and fighting things out is more important and courageous.
October 25, 2017 9:12 pm|
Well said. One has to be fearless and move ahead. We cant live life by fearing what comes next.
October 10, 2017 2:32 pm|
As always, love your twists! 🙂 Glad he has hope
October 25, 2017 9:12 pm|
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.

Well said. Thanks Varsha!

Determination is needed for every living thing be it a plant or a human being.
October 25, 2017 9:16 pm|
Yes, determination is important for where there is no vision / goal, there is no hope!
October 11, 2017 12:00 pm|
Determination is needed for every living thing be it a plant or a human being. That is the soul result of being successful.
October 25, 2017 9:17 pm|
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!
October 25, 2017 9:19 pm|
True that!

Your piece dwells into the minds of someone who can see his end and yet chooses to live with hope. Beautiful

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.
October 25, 2017 9:26 pm|
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!
October 13, 2017 8:33 am|
Thoughts are all that matter, guiding our mind and changing direction to a positive outcome. Good story.
October 25, 2017 9:29 pm|
True. We are shaped by our thoughts. So it’s important to choose the one that leads to happiness… to love… to life!
October 13, 2017 3:01 pm|
Loved the ending!
October 25, 2017 9:30 pm|
Thank you Heidi!
