Matchstick

A matchstick, tiny, small, seemingly meaningless. Yet in the darkest of nights it will shine bright. It will be a beacon of hope. It's tiny light will grow as it sets the world on fire. I wish to be that matchstick. To set the world afire with change.

What do you most appreciate about this story?

This is about being a light for Jesus. Being a Christian, it's my "job" in life. :) I'm Christ's ambassador. When I read this piece, I'm reminded of a favorite childhood song. :) "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine . . . . "

If the writer were to expand this story slightly (let's say 100 words, rather than 50), what would you like to know more about?

How you wished to set the world afire, I suppose. :) I like this story shorter, so I wouldn't change anything. :) You did a good job of going from describing the match and what it is, to what you were going to do with it. (i.e., set the world afire).
