"Fading Youth" by Alexander Darwish - #Fifty-word Challenge
Hello there, Fifty Worders. This is my first submission ever. I just found out about your little challenge and I'm extremely intrigued! Thank you for doing something so motivating on Steemit.
Without further ado, here's my piece:
Fading Youth
They spoke of truth, of future and of change. They truly meant what they said, but what was said didn’t sound like anything to me. I stood by, pondering… contemplating their ambition. They hustled and whistled, and all I saw was their fading light.

Let me know what you guys think. I'll try to look through the other submissions, but I was too eager to write first!

Nice job and welcome to the fold... Great opener, you'll be hooked in no time :o)
Thanks a lot. I'm already hooked from the first "bait." See what I did there, @jayna :D
Ha ha! Yes, I do see what you did there! Thanks for the comment and the chuckle!
A great first entry. I like the contrast of us vs them mentality in this one @alexandered
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate how you guys support me.
I like it.
😄😇😄
Really glad you do. Thanks!
What a nice lil' 50-word tasker story. Resteemed it and liked it, hope more love comes your way.
I truly appreciate your words of encouragement. Thank you for reading my stuff!
Very nice! It’s probably good that you wrote your fist 50-word story without reading anyone else’s so you could write without being influenced. 😀
Do read the other writers’ work. They are very creative and mutually supportive!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm loving this challenge; it's simple and exciting.
I'm already going through some of the other submissions, including yours! ^^
Let me know if there are any other challenges/contests of the same nature out there. I like this part of Steemit.
Nicely done, Alexandered! And welcome to the Fifty-word challenge.
Thanks a million, and I'm truly glad to be here! It's been a pleasure.
