Rhapsodist Writing Contest #7 – The Dust Cover Autobiography of a Life Not Lived

The seventh challenge of the Rhapsodist Writing Contest is to write the dust cover autobiography of the life you were not courageous enough to live. Our lives are fraught with different opportunities, paths, and choices we each need to make in an instant. However, upon reflection, each of us realizes at key points, had we decided differently, our lives would have been completely different. What is the dust cover biography of that other life?

For some inspiration, please check out the YouTube clip below from the movie The Family Man starring Nicholas Cage. In this YouTube clip, Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage) had everything which classically defines success in the modern world. He is a wealthy investment banker with every creature comfort one could possibly imagine, but a single defining moment in his life could have led him to an unlived life and a new definition of success he has never considered. In this film, he has the opportunity to live that life in a "glimpse."

Good luck to all the participating authors. I look forward to reading some incredible flash fiction.

@cityslicker thanks for stopping in to support the contest. I appreciate it.

This round had as many as #6, but both are at an all time high and we have new writers throwing their hat into the ring as well. I'm happy with the direction of the contest thus far. Good to see the fiction community coming back in bit by bit.

good luck to all the authors i wish you all the best :)

@lpfaust,
Let' see the news of winner soon! Great work going on friend!

Cheers~

@theguruasia thanks for stopping in to support the contest. I appreciate it.

I'm getting a bit side tracked over here as I am hosting a Steemit Accelertor/Meetup in my own home city this Wednesday, October 4. Seems much of my energy is getting put into Steemit lately.

Hey @lpfaust i think it would be tough to choose a single winner this time hahah :)

@starving fortunately I have two prizes to give away, but it is becoming more difficult each contest because there is no clear winners at times. The competition is getting that good. As time goes on, I'm hoping to attract more rewards, so I can increase the prize pool.

Let's see how it goes.

good picture and good work
thank you so much

@lpfaust - OMG Sir, this is a lovely work. Congratulations for all participants of this round too Sir :* Love it & nice contest Sir <3
