A Lifetime in a blink
A shortish story describing someone's life in a series of ''blinks''. Basically every blink considerable time has passed since the last blink and the blinks shall together create a telling of a lifetime. For example you can base it around immigration or slavery or history or mental illnesses. Here is an example of the preferable formatting: 'scene in someone's life' blink 'another scene in someone's life at a further point' blink ect.. I hope someone takes interest to this prompt ad tries it out!
