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.
