Mc CARTHY: We All Have Big Changes In Our Lifes, There are More or Less a Second Chance.

FANTASY STORIES 

"I opened my eyes and had no idea where I was…"

Have you ever thought you had it all figured out, your life, your goals and whatnot and then everything comes crashing down?

Like you know that space where your dreams seemed like a stone throwaway, and everything as you planned was all falling in place until you used your own hands to spoil it?

Well, even though you might be a stranger to the above questions, I know someone who isn't, my very good friend, Mc Carthy, at least that was before he broke off ties with me, because he felt he was better than me, not just me, literally everyone around him thought the same about him.

Don't get me wrong, Mc Carthy has a great personality, as a matter of fact; 

McCarthy is an ardent burning wood, he belongs to a pre-eminent family of intensely burning woods.

Their fame and Fear has grown and spread round Elsie, the famous colony for woods like them.

Many wood-families have always idolized and some envied the way the Grounding Family's fire always burn because they were always burning together and the most notable member of the family was McCarthy.

So many applause came from neighboring wood burning families of how McCarthy was very much responsible for how his entire family burns so passionately.

"such a good wood, he'll make a fine colony one day for himself".

"His wood burns so beautifully" 

"the proud son Mr. Grounding Timber," Tulsa said raising her figs up in a way to show pride as she walked  

"Who wouldn't be proud? of course he should be, can't you see how wonderful he glistens and makes his entire family's fire glow?" Daldin replied Tulsa while she passed by with McKenna on their way from the fields.

McCarthy heard those words and he grinned within himself with pleasure, but he didn't realize, it was at that moment  he let loose his defense, the mere thought that he was responsible for how good his family burns, birth a new feeling within him, and it was accompanied by a deep smirk of maturing pride.

Mc Carthy was an undoubtedly ever blazing burning wood.

'The words of acclaims of how you are an amazing wood with a strong structure that can withstand the heat of even the fiercest winds that blows from the Nijand River and would thrive and still burn even if detached is spreading round  the colony of Elsie all the females are dying to start a colony with you" Jules, Mc Carthy's best friend said to him as they took an evening stroll, "Oh, Jules, stop your puffery, you just don't know when to stop, Mc Carthy replied laughing widely, but Mc Carthy never discarded all the praises that were thrown at  him, he let them settle in his heart and much more in his head.

 

One day, McCarthy walked up to his father and told him he wants to relinquish his responsibility in  the family and go start his own, he felt he was much too good to be stuck amongst them, he felt he was ready for the fierce winds that blew in Elsie from the Nijand River.

"But McCarthy, don't you think it's rather too soon, the times are hard, survival is tough and wind blowing from the Nijand River is certainly fierce at this time, it's cold outside, it could blow out your fire!" McCarthy's father cautioned.

But McCarthy refuted immediately, "I'm sufficient on my own, many thanks to me, you all are the talk of the whole of Elsie and you think I can't survive on my own? Oh please come off it, father!.

Mr. Grounding, being a man of little words didn't struggle much with his son and let him go.

McCarthy left, feeling fulfilled, with a lot of vigor and fire, he was ready to burn intensely until hopefully Elyon comes at the end of Time to take them home.

He didn't know that he glistened so much because they burned together!

And boy was he wrong! Times passed by so fast and reality soon dawned on McCarthy, life has become so jagged for him, there were no much supplies anymore, the Wind blowing from River Nijand hasn't spared the poor wood.

 All of those cheering friends and supporters were nowhere to be found, he couldn't go out to find supplies because he was losing vigor.

His fire was dying out!

Mc Carthy's Fire was dying out

And just when he thought he had come to the end of his road, when he was about to burn his last, he suddenly felt warm again, the feeling was lovely, he wondered where the sudden warmth emanated from and when he raised his head to look, he saw the entire Grounding family surrounding him. Hand in hand, they barred up and burnt intensely.

The Grounding Family uniting to restore back Mc Carthy

There were no words!

 And in no distant time McCarthy was burning beautifully once again, full of life but now, more than ever, he has learnt that No matter how good you become, never forget where your fire started from, don't be in a hurry to step out or you'll burn out!

 He learnt never to feel too big or better because his blaze was most pronounced.

Most importantly McCarthy learnt that you may try to succeed on your own but you won't go so far without people, without family. Never forget who helped and moulded you into what you're becoming. 

McCarthy isn't far from you and I. And most often than not, McCarthy is You and I.

The fierce wind of the Nijand River still blows, becareful so your fire doesn't go out!. Don't be in a hurry to leave!

Tarry!.

McCarthy.

I hope you got value.?
