Ficlets

The Book (Worldly Challenge)

Finished! At last, after so much time, so much effort. So many times I wanted to fold up, give up, curl up and die. But I pushed on, and now it’s done.

A book for everyone. Free of political, religious, or personal affliction. Universal truths. Things that everyone agrees on. Whether the agree on the methods is irrelevant. They’ll see the words, and understand.

Words that make them think.

Make them understand.

Make them laugh.

Love.

Live!

Conflict is necessary for growth. That is the way of nature.

But this… This will show them that conflict for the sake of conflict diminishes us all.

It is the book. The book that will change thoughts.

Change a generation.

Change humanity.

Now comes the hard part.

“Dad, I need $500,000 to publish this book and ship copies worldwide. Where’s your credit card?”
