Hero

    “But darling, in the end you have to be your own hero, because everyone else is busy trying to save themselves.” The void called out. “How can I? It’s much easier to be your own villain and let everyone else defeat me!” He cried out to the void in front of him.
    The void began fading as it said its finally words to the boy who was on his knees, “Try looking at it in a different light.” Soon after the void disappeared leaving the boy to his thoughts.

      Why did t-that void mean? ‘Try looking at it in a different light.’ The boy wondered as he got up and began to leave the empty beach.


       This is a small story I made for school, the prompt that my teacher gave is on the top of the page. I decided to make a story out that quote, the story is about a boy, who doesn’t have a name, who is struggling to be ‘his own hero’, when out of nowhere a void begins talking and lecturing the boy ‘to be his own hero, because everyone else is busy saving themselves.’
    This is my free post for this week.
