I'm not a native English speaker, and I didn't ask anyone to help me with my (unavoidable) english mistakes; I wanted it to be 100% my words, and I took it as some sort of challenge. I don't care at all about winning, only participating And I'm already very proud of myself for managing to write 5000 words (that's my new length record!) in a foreign language.
Sorry in advance for any bleeding eyes!
It's kind of a philosophical story (well, at least it tries to), more about values and feelings than any real action. It can be somewhat moving or utterly annoying, I have no idea. But these are themes I really wanted to talk about.
I'll try to write something in a different style for the next context, if it has similar rules.
And now I'm going to sleep, because it's nearly 6 AM where I am and I spent my whole night writing. But I'm the one who won this battle, headache!
Edit : I'm adding a (slightly edited) version, with the correct dates, and some minor modifications (less repetitions and a few less english mistakes), it's more understandable that way. Especially the dates, that didn't make any goddamn sense (I didn't re-read them before posting, didn't think I could possibly have them wrong -_-').
I leave the original version too since it's the one that will be taken into account in the contest (sadly) but the new version can bring a little clarity!
