(140 Words, #40) Mr Kingwelder Brings Hope

“Here lies one who died of apathy. Not his own, but others.”

Charlie imagined his gravestone would say something like that.

Since he could remember Charlie had faced apathy. He loved to create things. He loved to take apart machines and put them back together better than before. He grew in skill and stature, making wonderful objects, building works of art.

But noone saw.

Apathy.

Now Charlie had a different life. He lived in a city with millions of other folk. He worked for a company, entering data all the day long.

Then, on a rainy overcast day, an email arrived.

“Charlie, I met your father at a conference last week, and he showed me one of your designs and the object itself. I’d like to talk. – Reginald Kingwelder, CEO King Maker Enterprises, Fortune 500, Revealer of Dreams.”
