Rejection

We all would love to have everything you could dream of. Everything you could imagine you wanted it. It sounds greedy and selfish, but it's what everyone wants. Everyone wants that open window and leap right into the dream they've always wanted. But your window is locked and a dark shadow tells you. "You're not good enough!". You plead and ask the dark shadow for the way through the locked window to your dreams. The shadow shows you a pamflet and slides it underneath the open crack at the bottom of the window. A contest pamflet to give your best novel you can create. You take that pamflet and use your imagination create the best novel no one has ever heard of. You spend weeks and weeks creating the most badass characters, intersing plot, wonderful setting and a great ending. You feel so accomplished. You feel so proud of yourself. You make your way to the locked window and hand in your manuscirpt to the dark shadow. As the dark shadow looks it over, and in your head feel so happy and joyful that the dark shadow will let you in....

The window opens, adrenaline and excitement rush throught you body. You start you way in. Only to have the dark shadow push you back, as some else more popular then you goes through with no trouble. The dark shadow throws the manuscript into your face and slams the window. You ask yourself what happened, why was I not allowed. You look down at your manuscript and see that you must try harder. You spends many months preparing novels for the dark shadow to read only to have every single one of them thrown back at you. You ask the dark shadow "Why have you rejected my novels?"

The dark shadow turns to you and says. "You are not popular enough." You spend more and more time creating more and more novels, only to have them rejected over and over. Until you evenutally. You give up on your dream. You watch as more and more popular people go through the window into the dream they've always wanted. As you sit down and watch you start to feel forgotten. You feel lost. You feel alone. You feel rejected. Your chest feels empty, your mind is filled with hatered. Everything you worked for is thrown into the trash.

As you start to cry about your rejection, a door suddenly appears over you, You look up as it opens with another person. The person sees you and asks "Did you write this novel?"

You say "Yes."

"It's absolutly wonderful." The person says, more and more doors pop up saying all the nice things about your work. As you stand up and look around every door that opens complements on you novels you've created. As the doors disappear the dark shadow unlockeds the window and opens it up. You mak your way to the window and ask the dark shadow.

"Is this for me?" Th dark shadow nods and you begin to make your way through, the dark shadow hands you a contract form for you to sign. When another door opens up behind you, you see another person jump out yelling "Don't do it."

You look down at the contract and then looked back at the person asking. "Why?"

"You'll be all alone in your dream, Your mind will be consumed by the fame and fortune. Your soul needs to be free not in shackles. Come join us in our world, we need you inspration."

You stare at the person and then back at the contract, you pause for a second and then drop the pen. You go back to the person with the open and you enter with the sense of freedom... letting your imagination run wild.
