This is the winner of the Nottingham TFTeen's short story competition. I loved this short story so much I had to post it on my blog. Have a read.



Ryan’s Adventures - The Mountain Pusher

In the 18th Century a boy called Ryan thought a crazy thought. His crazy thought was to push a mountain. So he tried and tried, but failed.

For the next three weeks, he spent most of his time trying to push mountains. Even when his mum called him in, he refused. He was so rebellious.

Then one day, a neighbour invited him to the church. He attended but paid no attention in the services. After attending the church for one year, Ryan was still a rebellious boy and still could not push mountains. However, when the 21 days of fast came along, he took part and he changed. As he put into practice what he was learning, he could finally push mountains.

A few months later, he went back to his old self, abandoning all that he had learned during the 21 days fast and was now too weak to push mountains. After, the 21 days fasting of Daniel came again and. Seeing the mistake he made the last time, Ryan decided to take it seriously this time and not to go back to his old life, after the fast was over. As a result of his faith and seriousness with God, he REALY changed, wasn’t rebellious anymore and could push mountains like never before.
