[#229 | Optimism] Challenge Post

Challenge 229: OPTIMISM

Maybe the sun will come out tomorrow! Some people are just upbeat. No matter how bad things get, they’ll always see the bright side and expect the best. Pouring rain? Well, the plants need it. Car breakdown? That’s okay, there’s a mechanic’s right down the road, they can probably fix it. Alien invasion? Come on, team, we’ve got this! Sometimes, a little bit of optimism is just what everyone needs. When our heroes are in their darkest moment, maybe they need a friend to tell them that it’s not over, they can still win this fight if they just keep going. Other characters, though, might find it frustrating; they don’t want to hear about what might go right, when it seems like everything is going wrong. Where do your characters fall? Are they optimists, or not so much? How do they feel about it? Write a story about optimism. BONUS GOAL: Sunny Day If your submission features sunshine, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
