First Condensation: A Flight Of Courage
A Flight Of Courage: |
---|
After mating with the Queen, the drone ant was gripped with fear of death.
Then a whisper of hope from his friend Goodybest resonated within him, He realized the importance of his sacrifice to the colony's continuity so he mustered courage and accept the reality.
Though he perished his legacy lives, and he was forever remembered for his selfless sacrifice and contribution to the colony's existence.
Reflections: Courage In Acceptance/Writing Process |
---|
Thinking deeply about the circumstances surrounding the drone ant, I realized that it takes courage for him to accept his fate. I've learned a valuable lesson here: there's a particular role I've been scared of taking for some years now because I feel I'm limited, that I can't carry it out responsibly. Well, today, I've learned to acknowledge my roles, even in the face of fear, because it can lead to a meaningful existence. Embracing our purpose enables us to find strength and courage.
Legacy Beyond Life: this story emphasizes the idea of my contributions; as our life is short. As I said before, if Goodybest is no more today, what will she be remembered for? Have I created a positive impact on my partner's, kid's, family's, and Community's life? What am I known for? The drone ant's sacrifice serves as a reminder that life's worth is not measured by how long we live, or how much we have but by the significance of our actions within our community.
Transformation through Fear: I realized that fear is transformative in nature; If I don't succumb to my despair, then I'll come off it stronger and better. The drone ant channel is fear into something profound, and this shows that fear can be a catalyst for change, empowering us to take a stride that we never thought we could, thus ultimately shaping our legacies.
Writing Process: |
---|
I Chose The Topic A Flight Of Courage:
I chose this topic because it brings the image of someone or something taking a bold step into the unknown to our minds. They strongly believe in themselves and their convictions. It signifies a journey where fear is transformed into bravery, and hesitation is overruled by determination. Be it overcoming our obstacles, making a life-changing decision, standing up for our beliefs, or facing reality this theme highlights that we need inner fortitude to spread our wings and soar into unexplored territories. Courage, in this sense, will serve as fuel for our progress, a catalyst for change, and a beacon of hope when we face uncertainty.
Narrative Techniques:
The story was initially a letter from a second-person to encourage the first-person (the drone ant) to be courageous and face reality. He knew the drone ant's plight and was even related to it; he helped the ant realize its importance to the colony. So I developed my story from here, stating the protagonist as a drone ant and how his meditation on his friend's words imparted courage in him to take the bold steps to face reality.
Preserving Key Details In Condensed Format:
I focused on preserving the emotional feelings of the drone ant; in the first paragraph, I stated that the drone ant was "gripped with fear of death." In the second paragraph, I highlighted his importance in the colony.
Turning points:
"He soared and embraced uncertainty, knowing that his sacrifice matters a lot." This sentence was a turning point; it shows that the ant courageously makes a life-changing decision that makes him a hero even when he is no more.
Uncertain Ending/Twist:
At first, I made it look like the ant will not be able to face the reality. I didn't mention that the drone ant was brave 😎 hahaha until the end when we learn that he left a lasting legacy for us to mimic.
Symbolism:
The drone ant symbolizes courage, Self-sacrifice, selflessness, adaptability, and potential for collaboration. It represents our ability to overcome obstacles through resilience. It shows that we can progress by learning from others.
@joslud and @solperez, I must confess that this lesson is taking me to another level; I mean, I have just written a story, harmlessly fun, but reflecting on it, taught me great life lessons. Thank you!

Mi amiga bella, en este ejercicio los invitábamos a "condensar". ¿Crees que profundizaste en ese proceso? Fíjate, te hablaré en términos matemáticos:
Tu relato tiene en inglés: 103 palabras, incluyendo el título. En español tiene 120 palabras. Yo creo que podrías condensar más el microcuento, sin que este pierda la esencia. Te invito a hacerlo para que no saques bajas calificaciones. Incluso me gustaría que en la reflexión contaras cómo lograste "condensar la historia", a partir de este mensaje.
Estaré en línea. Espero que me avises cuando tengas el trabajo terminado para evaluar y calificar. Un abrazo.
Thank you for letting me know! The condensing part took me a while, and I ended up with 99 words when I checked. Please bear with me a little longer; I want to ensure I get it right. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done.
Gracias a tai por comprender que un taller implica: hacer-deshacer y rehacer. Te esperaré, sin problemas. Un abrazo.
Thanks for being patient with me my dear friend. I'm done, you can check it out now
Muy bien. Ya voy. Gracias por tomar en cuentas nuestras observaciones.
Saludos amiga, emocionante historia la de las hormigas, me encantó esta parte que viene a ser como una reflexiónLa hormiga zángano simboliza el coraje, el autosacrificio, el altruismo, la adaptabilidad y el potencial de colaboración. Representa nuestra capacidad para superar obstáculos a través de la resiliencia. Muestra que podemos progresar aprendiendo de los demás, le diste un gran giro y muy emocionante a tu historia, para luego convertir en una micro historia fue maravilloso, me gustó leerte. Lo que si note que hay que tratar de seguir las reglas del desafío, lo bueno de todo esto que estamos para aprender. Bendiciones y suerte

Me encantó todo lo que explicas sobre la hormiga.
Me identifico con tu reflexión sobre el impacto que dejamos en otros.
No había tenido el privilegio de leer tu microrrelato sobre la hormiga, pero leer todo me ayudó a tener un cuadro más amplio.
Ahora entiendo el entusiasmo de @joslud y @solperez sobre el hormiguero.

¡Holaaa amiga!🤗
Un legado que la inmortalizó como esa hormiga magistral que fue. Aquí es donde digo que las leyendas jamás pierden vigencia y sin duda alguna las hazañas de esta hormiga abrieron caminos hacia la reflexión de lo que genera emprender nuestro esfuerzo ya que, las cosas que tienen mayor valor en nuestra vida, son aquellas que requieren de un arduo trabajo de nuestra parte.
Me identifiqué mucho con tu hormiguita porque, más de una vez me he sentido así y, esa voz motivadora es la que me hace recordar el coraje que tengo en mi corazón.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚

You're a warrior! There's a saying in my dialect: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Each time you overcome an obstacle, you become stronger. I appreciate your contributions and good wishes.
Hello, it's good to meet you again, I like inspiring stories. Good things come in small packages, there is a saying, the ant's message is strong: Sacrifice for the family, if I take it to real life, not all people can do it, you must love sincerely.
I respect your effort to share a little story that generated reflection in you, we are all in the process of learning, greetings and a hug from the beautiful island.
