Short story..
Once there lived an old man in a neighborhood. He was all alone in his house with no one to visit him or talk to him because people referred to him as a **wizard after a terrific death of his wife and children.** People pointed hands at him whenever he was passing thereby causing a great deal of *psychological trauma on him*. He decided to end his life by committing suicide but on a clear though he knew that was not the best option therefore he stayed calm and continued to bear the critics. One day, he decided to go to the market to get some foodstuffs for himself with all he had on him and feed on it and then wait for dead to come for him . At the marketplace he looked out for places to buy his stuff since some people were not willing to sell to him while the price of the stuff of others were too expensive. In his search , he accidentally poured the items of a woman away. Looking at the incident , he knew he can't pay for the items so he decided to beg for pardon. The woman in charge decided to let him pay but her madam was around so she was called to come and see what has happened. Meanwhile, other people were already spoiling the old man's name. The madam called him aside and asked him of all that happened and why they called him all those names. After telling her all his story , the woman was sad and also related her life story to that of the man . He told him about how she planned to give a house to her father but something else happened. After some long conversation the woman took him as his father and cared for him till he died peacefully. **End of story** Rewards time : Suggest a perfect topic for this article and state why you think it should be giving a place in the article.

I read it. π
I suggest "OVERCOMING FEARS (discuss the different kinds of fear)nd how can we face those fears) ". Because FEAR is one of the reason why we can't do anything.
Good points raised and that can be a good heading. More will be coming just make sure you can are able to suggest a heading or title
"Everything has a Reason" old man's family died, he was accused of being a witch and avoid by the people.. Then an incident happen he accidentally spills something, it became the reason he found refuge from the woman and he was taken care of. Therefore in life, everything happens has a reason behind it.
Nice work. You did it perfectly..
Thank you, likewise with you π
This is how a good short story ends..πππ
I love the story, it's short and easy to understand tho I can't suggest the topic coz it's already given . Job well done. Keep writing such an inspiring articles.
The topic is already given ? I don't think so , therefore you can try suggesting one.
"The End Matters." I am choosing this topic from the old man's perspective. He decided to commit suicide but he know it wasn't the right way. With faith he stayed alive and the end justified it all..
Do not believe everything just because everyone says so..
That can be a pretty good one.
π Glad you like it. I am very busy and try to make time for Read.cash.. Hope I can manage....
"Never Give up". This old man never gave up on life even when he had all reasons to do so. He lost everything, but he stayed alive till he finally got help from where he never expected. Nice article. Lesson learnt is very important to everyone's life. People and situations will want you to give up your dreams and aspirations. But it's left for you to decide.π
Yes I think that was a perfect one. N very give up no matter what is happening or is about to happen
I feel uplifted by your creative juices :) My favourite bit " After some long conversation the woman took him as his father and cared for him till he died peacefully." :)
Thanks for choosing that as your favourite paret
I suggest "Never give up in Life". Because every challenging in life is only a test if you can do it.ππ
I think the story lacks something, I think it's in the plot but you have a good concept there. It also give moral lesson in life.
What is it lacking?? Can you tell me?
Maybe it's in the plot of the story, how those two ended up being father and daughter. I think you should have put more details there. Just my suggestion but I like the story and I'm one of your subscriber here who is patiently waiting for your articles.
