Question

Write a short story, no more than two A4 pages, from the perspective of a 1,000-year-old person. What have they seen over their long life? How do they feel about the world now?

Answer 1

Answer:

I have lived 1.000 years, today is my birthday. I have seen all my relatives born and die many times, they are not like me. I am not sure I want to live any more. I think I had enough. I have seen the appearence of television, radio and the Internet. I have seen how the Internert changed trhough the years. Many years ago we thought it was impossible to receive food through our computers. We never thought our cars could fly like we used to imagine in cartoons and movies. I, personally, never thought when I was around a hundred years old that I could talk to someone just by saying it out loud, without any device.

However, as I said before, I do not want to live anymore. Life has become too technological. We used to aspire being as technological as we could, but now I am not sure it is the best thing. I do not have interactions with humans like I used to, I only communicate with some friends I have made along the way through technology. I miss human interaction. I think I have seen it all and now it is time for me to remember everything I have lived once more and... finally die.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to write a short story from the perspective of a 1.000 years old person. I wrote about a person that decides it's time to die because he had lived too much, and he explains some of the things he saw through his life and how technology changed it all.
