Legacy
Every moment, Tom aspires to be like the stars in the sky, shining and bright. But laziness strikes over and it’s always a procrastination. But there are life changing moments, aren't there?
Tom’s life changed when Ann, a poet, entered his life. Their friendship made Tom reach heights--he became a novel writer cum dancer. Years went by with huge success until the tragedy hit their lives.
Tom passed away. Today Ann runs a cancer treatment hospital in his name. She started writing poetry, especially about diseases. Ann helped Tom, so now wasn’t it Tom’s turn to help Ann from above?

Father
Father threw his coat on the chair and announced, “I'm tired of trying to see the good in people.”
“Tough day, Father?”
“You have no idea. All day long, problems, problems, problems. I can’t fix chronic poor choices in partners or unfulfilled dreams of success because of laziness.”
“Did anything good happen today?”
“Well, the steps were repainted. It was a decent job, considering it was done by a recovering alcoholic.”
“See, that’s a start.”
“But there was a parade of people coming to confess all sorts of stupid things to me.
“Well, maybe being a pastor isn’t for you.”
