Hi guys 
So there’s this competition for short stories with a Christian theme around some local schools - first prize is $1000. Mate, I’m going for it, haha!
But there’s an eeensy problem: I AM COMPLETELY STUMPED.
Well, not completely. I was thinking of doing something about a mother who isn’t coping well with the death of her son, and resorts to prayer to recover. I figured that it might be alright if I really got into her head, you know? But the stupid thing isn’t behaving for me.
So here’s my question: What comes to mind when you think of the Christian theme?
Inspire me!
(Oh, but pleeeeeeeease, PLEASE do not give me a plot. I don’t want it to be one of *those* questions.)
Thank you ^.^
@Joanne: Catholicism is a branch of Christianity - I’m Catholic too! ;D
I’m Catholic, I honestly don’t know the difference but hmm, lets see…
At one point, at least everyone has had a doubt in their faith. Heck, one time I went to church and there was this crazy guy there 0.0. The woman would definitely have doubt in her faith if her son just died, unless she’s truly one of those people who still believe no matter what.
Whenever i think of my religion, I think of the good and the bad. The Church persecuted many people but now we understand what we did wrong. Basically the balance between life and death could be a good thing that the woman delves into while praying.
Another thing, is the woman praying just at a church when you’re writing about her? Because if she’s out and about and thinking about her son and prayers, then you could definitely add in scenes of good will. Like a kind stranger and then some evil guy. Evil guy, hehe.
Anyways, that’s all I have for now. $1000, I want to enter!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. You haven’t replied to me!! =’( Jk, take your time, while you’re at it, write that winning story =D
