100-WORD STORY
Versatile Veins
Response for the Microfiction Writing Challenge
Discovering myself is diving into a puzzle of converging convex and concave jigsaw traits. The personality, a mixture of the legacy of virtues, diffused in the genes and rest of what I’ve chosen to emanate. Like building this puzzle, unearthing the enigma. The top board pieces of sky, stem an Erudite trait, erecting aspirations. Whilst the bottom, Abnegation, springs from the soil shows humility. The pieces on the right reflect conservatism, Amity, painting peace, while the Left is progressive, constituting Candor. The centerpieces portray a girl, brave, Dauntless.
The completed puzzle betrays the mystery, a fraction of all factions- Divergent.
Thank you Ravyne Hawke for this chance.
Thank you for reading. I’ll gladly accept improvements as unsure if this has been conveyed well, contemplation.
I was moved by the premise of these 5 factions while reading the dystopian fiction Divergent Series by Veronica Roth. I always considered each of our personalities built from all of these, being Divergent, but we tend to choose and reflect one stronger than the others.
When Carolyn Hastings shared her piece based on this picture prompt, she creatively crafted a fantastic piece I couldn’t have conjured. And this was a mere concoction of the girl as illustrated by Souminibanerjee in Carolyn's response(attached below) and Ravyne Hawke- Microfiction, and Marcus aka Gregory Maidman’s titular prompt “Man’s search for meaning.”
Thank you Editors and PW!!
