A Glowing Ember
#WritcoStoryPrompt116
Write a story about an ember and how it connects to your life.

Once upon a time, there was a small ember that flickered and danced in the fireplace of a cozy cabin in the woods. The ember was born from the flames that roared and crackled in the hearth, and it glowed with a warm and comforting light.

As the night wore on, the fire burned down, and the ember grew dimmer and dimmer until it was nothing more than a tiny red spark. But even in its weakened state, the ember refused to go out. It held on, glowing softly, and waiting for its chance to ignite once more.

Years later, I found myself in a dark and difficult place in my life. I had lost my job, my relationship had ended, and I felt like I had nothing left. But then I remembered the ember from that cozy cabin in the woods, and I realized that like that ember, I too had a spark deep inside of me that could never truly be extinguished.

I held onto that spark, even when things felt hopeless, and slowly but surely, it began to grow. I started to take small steps forward, seeking out new opportunities and connections, and slowly but surely, my life began to change.

Today, that ember is still with me, reminding me that even in the darkest of times, there is always a light to be found. It serves as a symbol of hope and resilience, and a reminder to keep pushing forward even when things feel impossible.

So whenever I see a flickering flame or a glowing ember, I am reminded of the power of perseverance and the strength that lies within each of us, waiting to be ignited.
