Writing Challenge #3: Worst Fear

Dying. Sickness. The weakness that came with it.

Three things that Steve thought of when his worst fears came to mind. He'd spent so much of his childhood so sick he could barely move, his greatest fear was now getting sick himself. Even the thought of a blocked nose an sore throat sent his chest into a panic. He couldn't handle it. When you come close to death due to your lungs filling up with fluid because your body is basically rejecting them... well you learn to fear the little sigs and symptoms of the common cold.

Because the common cold usually turns into something a lot worse.

Writing Challenge #1: Happiest Childhood Memory

Steve's childhood was filled with hospitals, doctors, needles and sickness.  It was hardly the basis for happiness. However there is one memory he calls on again and again when he's sick or unhappy. 

His mother. 

His beautiful, hardworking mother who always made time for her son. 

He remembers her smile, the way her hair was always curled so perfectly around her nurses cap, the smell of her perfume. The way that she always held his hand when she was sick and would always make sure his room was the last on her rounds when he was in hospital so she could spend extra time with him and help him sleep. 

She was his bright light in a dark childhood, something that had always made him smile no matter what.

Happiest Memory | Writing Challenge

The day after Peter had found out that his parents had died had been the worst day of his life but then it's what happened after that made it not only one of the most memorable but also one of his enjoyable days. Uncle Ben and Aunt May didn't want him to be sad since he was just a kid so took him out for the day to Central Park. Even though they didn't take him anywhere expensive or grand they made sure that he was busy and had a fun day. By the time they got back home he was already asleep and had to be carried in and put to bed by Uncle Ben.
