First draft, Light

Genesis 1:1-5
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day."


Before she read the Word, her life was formless and empty, and the darkness was all around and over her mind. Alrhough she had some love, faith, and hope, they did not stay in right place and just hovered around her soul. Her life was in a wrong way, such as money, fame, power, sex. She always felt that emptiness even though everyone seemed to love her. Once when formless emptiness overwhelmed her emotion and thought, she decided to commit suicide. She brought some Aspirins and locked herself into her room; however, the fear of pain, death and hell made her hesitated and heard the Word. Before calling the end of life, she opened the Book called "Holy Bible," and she heard the Word, "Everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16, NIV) She started to cry and the Word confirmed the message, "I have told you these things, so that in me hou may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33, NIV) In her dark, depressed mind and soul, the Word turned on the light, and she saw someone right next to her, who protect and guide her to save from the death. When she realized that she was not alone, the greatest peace covered her. Still she needed to be formed and fulfilled, the direction of her life changed to the right way, from the death to the eternal life.

First draft, All of Sudden

Life is the loneliest subject on the earth. Human beings have no choice to leave the world together since entering it alone, and solitude become the burden that everyone has its own to take care for thier life long, either visible or invisible. Although a few people found their lovers with God's blessing, who would protect and love them till thier death, due to the faded meaning of marriage, even love became the one moment instant feeling to enjoy. Since an uncertain moment, my sensibility neither desire nore reject the love. Some part of mine deadly desire, but the other part thought it as an annoying and bothersome feeling. I became lethagic because if not knowing why I felt and how to fulfill the emptiness. Once I failed to get over lethagy, my life would be affected by losing confidence or thinking negatively. When everything that the most people do and get easily became the hardest thing for me, made me feel nothing and useless. Others easily said focusing on the life help to get through it, but it only work for the working moment. When the night time before falling asleep, once again, I needed t fight against the overwhelming solitude. To change this solitude to happiness, something new happen and new people put fresh air. And everything requires the effort. However, the effort doesn't guarantee the success. Even though the effor provide the small achievement, it also made feel some failure easily. That is all about life. We can feel them because of being alive, and with them, we won't get bored. While making some effort to put some fresh, lovely air into the life, happinies come right in front of me. As usual, i went to school, did homeworks, and met some people. One day, I randomly joined the lunch with friends, and there was an unexpected one, who couldn't get close to.

Recently, I became interested in flash fictions which only have less than a thousand words, usually around three hundreds words, and desired to write some. I have no idea how to write, but keep writing to practice them. Hope it help me to establish my writing skills.
