A short story

[Dylan Page]

This is a story about a girl named Anna. Anna was a 17 year old who’s goal in life was to help make the world a better place. She had so many plans to do her part, eager for the day they come to fruition. One was to start a non-profit company to alleviate the pains of homelessness, another was to start a research center to create better environments for animals affected by pollution and there was even a project for a sanctuary for mosquitos, so that they could live and thrive without being a danger to humans. Her empathy spread far and wide, with a universal compassion and acknowledgement that all creatures are innocently making their way through life. However, there was an issue. She was struggling to get her message out there and grew up in a poor family. She had no access to substantial money and was still stuck in high school. She worked super hard to get enough money to start working on the foundations of her first company and after 6 months of knee-deep exhausting labor she was ready to start seriously making an impact. On the night of the grand opening of her first homelessness shelter, in her shaking excited anxiety, she trips, falls, hits her head on the pavement, and dies. Her business with no leader other than herself quickly collapses and nothing comes to fruition. The kind hearted selfless person with nothing but dreams to unify and heal the world dies coldly and suddenly, with no warning and before she can actualize any of her goals. 
 

What does this mean to you guys? Were those goals of her’s “important” in any way? Why would this ever happen to someone like that? I’m not trying to be dramatic, but in trying to understand the nature of the universe, you simply can’t avoid its brutal capacity to end that which seems nothing but good.
