Awaiting The Immortal Death ......

Stephen Anglovitz lay on the hard cold and bare ground on the New York Highway. He was a man of poverty and now even worse, he was homeless and stranded on the street, where he took refuge from the biting cold. He lay on his back staring at the velvety night sky, littered with bright shimmering stars. They formed some vivid shapes in the ebony dark sky. As Stephen studied them he was taken back into his salad days of the past.

As a child too Stephen had loved to gaze at the night sky but this time he longingly watched the stars, which were like crystal balls away from the Earth for him. His name was associated with the Anglovitz, who held a high position in Norway. Stephen had played in the lap of luxury and happiness. His father was a wealthy and respected businessman. So Stephen had the most wonderful childhood one could have ever dreamt of. Riding on the sledge, enjoying his games and studying occasionally, was only what he had to do.

But as a youth; he changed and not into a responsible young adult but a squanderer. He neglected his studies and opted out of College. He became a spendthrift and got into bad company. He took his father’s hard earned money for granted.

But hell broke loose upon his family after his Dad died in an accident. They spent a lot of money on his cure and hospital bill, but he couldn’t be saved. His mother too, soon died due to grief and sorrow. Now Stephen was all alone in this wide world. Not even having a college degree, he couldn’t obtain a job. He hadn’t been a dunce but a cantankerous adult. His mistake as a youth was mortal so his life went to rags and tatters.

But now he had no choice except lying on the cold ground instead of the comfortable bed and staring at the shimmering stars instead of the ceiling. He had no choice except being frustrated, not with his life but himself. He had no one else to blame than himself. In the end, he had no other choice except………except awaiting the immortal death that could take away all his sorrow and pain!

Hi friends! I created this story using an entirely new method. I randomly chose 10 words from the dictionary (which are colored in red above) and tried to form a meaningful story from these words. I got this idea from the site 'Creative Writing Prompts'
