Red Planet Memorial

This is a piece that I wrote for the Micros and Minis contest in my Creative Writing class. It had to be exactly one hundred words long, and if it won, a student in the drawing and painting program would illustrate it. Although this piece is entirely fictional, it is based on some of my experiences. I used the death of my dog as inspiration for my piece. When he passed away, my family and I were on vacation, which made it feel as though we were lightyears away from him. I tried to infuse that grief with a more fictional element in order to make it more interesting to read and also write.

Creativity means that one is able to form their emotions and opinions into something bigger than themselves.
