Challenge
The concept of death has captivated our imaginations since the beginning of human society. It has formed cultures, defined religions, shaped the course of history.
Write about death. It can be lighthearted, humorous, hopeful, respectful, dreading, mournful, optimistic--you can paint it in any light you would like.
Any style and format- poetry, prose, story, fiction, nonfiction, etc.
I want to live in the stars
Every day,
a new group of people die.
I believe,
they get transported to a star.
And there,
they stay to get judged to
see how many years
they will get to spend
in heaven.
Forever.
Never.
I could live with the stars.
And then,
we are reborn
in a different dimension
with no memory of our time
spent with
our previous family and friends.
We start fresh.
A new life
full of
new regrets
new memories
new families
new moments
new lives.
It will be so shiny,
blinding
but soon enough,
we will lose sense
and life will go by so fast
One lifetime
in the blink of an eye.
