His inspiration came in a tear drop.
Tear Drop
by HarryT
Max stared at the stark white computer screen. It was mocking him. His art form was the written word. He hoped his muse would inspire him. He needed a beauty of an ending for his final chapter.
His hands trembled above the keyboard in anticipation, but his mind stayed blank.The deadline for his novel was in 24 hours. Max, you're a coward. A sudden tear rolled down his cheek, splashing on the keyboard. He dipped his finger and tasted the salty wetness. A signal from his muse? A tearful conclusion to his book? Yes, of course.
His fingers flew over the keys. Words flowed. Hour after hour, he poured meaningful sequences onto the screen. When he finished, he printed the pages to proofread. To his amazement, even though he read his work aloud twice, he could find nothing to change.
One year later, his book was an award-winning bestseller.
