Blake closed his laptop bitterly. He'd played Pirate101 for hours by now and it didn't seem to satisfy him. He always felt this way after playing or doing anything really, and he didn't know why. He tried everything to void he felt inside, but no matter what he tried, the results were all the same. Make the highest grades in school, feel empty; accomplish all he could in his favorite video games, feel empty; hang out with the "cool crowd", feel empty. He couldn't escape his emptiness. Blake's bitterness grew as he sat there, thinking. I work hard in school and it doesn't fulfill, I completely beat entire games and bosses that are near impossible and still nothing, he thought. I don't know what to do I've tried nearly everything. He sighed, grabbing his laptop and heading up to the second floor of his house. He walked straight into his room. Nothingness still lingered in his heart as he say his lap top on his desk. He looked around his room, painted dark blue and covered in band posters and video game posters. He held his gaze at a single spot. On his night stand sat a dusty book- a Bible. A thought crossed his mind for a split second before he dismissed it, faithlessly. What if God fills the emptiness? He shook the thought away and left his room, still completely empty and hollow.
Moral: this world will never fill you, no matter what you do, it will always leave you empty and blind you to the true source of fulfilment, Jesus Christ
hey guys! I know this is really short, but this story is only the first part to a three part trilogy following Blake's search for fulfilment. This is actually inspired by a 3-part animation trilogy by an awesome Youtuber who's channel name is Full Of Eyes. It is based off his "Supremacy of Christ" trilogy. If you have never seen his videos before, I totally recommend that you check them out. His animations are so moving that they might even change your life. They are epic! Also thank you so much for all the reviews I have received so far. They mean a lot! And there are a lot more short stories to come. God bless!
