Answer:
I wrote a story for each topic except number 4. I really love to write, I spent quite a bit of time on these. Hope you like them!
Step-by-step explanation:
TOPIC 1. "What if after you die God asks you “So how was heaven?”"
As I stand before God, I am awestruck by his presence and intimidated by the weight of his question. How can I possibly describe how heaven was when only moments before, I was still living my mortal life? Yet, I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to recall the blissful moments that I have been fortunate enough to experience since I crossed over to the other side. The sky was a stunning shade of pink and purple, and the air was filled with the sweetest of scents, like nothing I had ever smelled before. The sound of angelic choirs singing echoed around me, and everywhere I looked, I saw joy, love, and peace. In the midst of such beauty, I found myself surrounded by loved ones, family and friends that I hadn't seen in years. We spoke for hours about everything and nothing at all, and I felt the warmth of their embraces like they were real. I tell God that heaven was nothing like I could have hoped for, but everything that I needed, and more, and I am filled with gratitude and contentment when I look back on that moment.
TOPIC 2. "I traveled around the world for a year and only felt lost when I arrived home."
As I stepped off the plane and onto the familiar ground of my hometown, I was met with mixed feelings. On one hand, I was happy to be back in the place that held so many memories and familiar faces. On the other hand, a wave of uncertainty crashed over me as I realized that my year-long journey had come to an end. As I made my way through the airport, lugging my backpack full of souvenirs and memories, my best friend called my name from across the room. We ran to each other and embraced tightly.
"It's good to have you back," she said with a smile.
I returned her smile but couldn't shake off the feeling of being lost. "I thought coming home would feel different," I admitted.
My friend gave me a knowing look. "It's not easy readjusting after such a big trip. But don't worry, you'll find your footing soon enough."
Over dinner that night, my family asked me about my travels and listened in amazement as I recounted stories of adventure and self-discovery. But as the night wore on, I felt disconnected from their excitement.
"I don't know how to explain it," I said. "I just feel like something's changed."
"Of course something's changed," my mom said gently. "You've seen so much of the world now, experienced things beyond our small town."
I nodded slowly, feeling a little better about things. Maybe it would just take some time to get used to being home again. But I just felt lost.
TOPIC 3. "“Wrong number,” said a familiar voice."
"Wrong number," said a familiar voice. My heart skipped a beat as I recognized the voice of my ex-boy friend, Matt. We had broken up only a month ago and I had tried hard to move on, but hearing his voice again made all the memories flood back into my mind. I hesitated for a moment before replying, unsure of what to say. "Uh yeah, you must have dialed the wrong number," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. I could hear the disappointment in Matt's voice as he apologized and hung up. Despite the pain of the breakup, hearing his voice had stirred up old feelings and a part of me wished I had picked up the phone and talked to him. However, I knew deep down that moving on was the best thing for both of us and that I couldn't let a phone call from a familiar voice bring me back to where I started.
