Wordsmiths Fiction Week 1: The Disappeared Leader

in #fiction-s24wk13 months ago

Hello Everyone
This is @max-pro from, #Bangladesh

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I hope you are all well. By the grace of Allah, I am also well. Every Steemit challenge this week is being conducted very well. Where many are participating in the government of happiness. So I also came to participate in this contest with great enthusiasm. Our teacher @dove11 has beautifully highlighted some important topics here, I will answer them.


A well-written fictional story is not just a figment of the imagination, but a journey where the reader shares with the characters their decisions, dilemmas, crises, and solutions. The background of this story is built around a small cargo ship stranded in a stormy sea and a mysterious island. Assuming that this is a fictional existence, I will tell it from my perspective. I entered an atmosphere of uncertainty from the beginning where the storm, mechanical failure, the unknown geography of the island, and the sudden disappearance of the leader all combine to create a tense atmosphere.

The story is told in third person narrative which gives me the opportunity to observe everything from a bird's eye view. Events unfold step by step and I followed the steps of the characters with curiosity.

CharactersTheir actions
Captain LeonardThe leader of this team who is the center of the story. After reaching the island on a stormy night, the remaining 9 members find some stability under his leadership. But his disappearance the next morning shocks everyone.
ElenaSecond in command. With her strong determination to control the situation and find the captain, a search party is formed.
JackA technologist and a curious person. He discovers a cave on the island and finds a diary there.
SarahA sympathetic member of the team who tries to understand the situation by combining both emotion and analysis.

➤ The characters' reactions, decisions, and dialogues bring the story to life. Some of their dialogues.

  • Elena : Leonard went willingly... we didn't expect this. But he knew he had to go to keep us safe.

  • Jack : But what was it that made him so afraid? The island is not just plants... there is something hidden here.

  • Sarah : We may not have found him, but he saved us. This is his last gift.

Question - Why did the ship's leader disappear?

Answer Analysis

Captain Leonard noticed something unusual upon arriving at the island. Some vague hints in his diary suggest that he had discovered something that could threaten his team. He went to investigate the mystery alone, risking his own life.

Question - Why did the ship's leader disappear? Did he return? If not, where did he go?

Answer Analysis

He never returned. It is thought that he went deeper into the island and encountered a truth that held him back, or perhaps he voluntarily moved away so that his team would be safe.

Question - What did he do while he was away from his team?

Answer Analysis

He may have been researching some ancient or unknown force hidden within the island. There were lines in his diary that proved that he thought they were not ready to know this truth right now. I have to finish it alone.

What is the end of the story?

The story ends with a message of incompleteness and sacrifice. Although the leader did not return, the footprints he left behind, the diary and the warnings kept the others alive. This is true leadership, ensuring the safety of the team without looking at their own interests.

Elena later takes charge of the team and recalls the captain's ideals, saying that he was a true leader. He valued our absent danger more than his presence.

Conclusion 🔰

This story is not just a mystery but also one of inspiration, courage, sacrifice and responsibility. A thriller-like plot that helps us immerse ourselves in the world of imagination and makes us think in the end. Do all the leaders really return? Or are they lost forever and save the others?

After reading this story, a strange feeling arose in my mind, a kind of silent wonder that contained, on the one hand, the fascination of mystery, and on the other, a deep impression of human sacrifice. Although Captain Leonard's disappearance seemed like a puzzle at first, the diary he left behind and the reactions of the characters made it clear that this story is not just about the disappearance of a person but also a unique example of the sacrifice and sense of responsibility of a leader.

The conversations of the characters seemed to come alive in my eyes. Elena's determination, Jack's curiosity, and Sarah's emotions all created a real feeling as if I had become one of the group. The end of the story stopped me. This story taught me a new way how great inspiration can be hidden even in the silent disappearance of a leader.

  • I think you didn't read the contest announcement post carefully. We didn't ask for an analysis of the story we provided or for a question-answer format post. You were supposed to build a story around our idea, not analyze it. I hope you take this positively and participate next time with a creative story post.
