Death Conquers all

Owner of four mansions , sixteen luxury cars and a private jet
and yet he lay thirty inches deep ,
beside the man who had drowned struggling in the ocean of poverty.

Author's Note

The above piece is an example of microfiction a.k.a. 'story in four lines.'

Your words honest and true. Can't take your large house and wealth with you. More tears for a person who loved his children and the earth. Not money. Thank you hope for sharing your worthwhile words and thoughts.

Very insightful and a good moral as well, measured in life above most but laid to rest equal with every one else. Bravo! I give it five out of five Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
I have taken part in a few micro writing competitions they were set by the number of words you used. It is a great challenge to ones imagination and creativity as well as your writing skills. Welcome to Writers Cafe :~)

Very concise.

For microfiction, this sums up a story very well, though i think it should be layered as four lines, if that is what micro fiction requires. Just a thought.

Like your theme; that in death, every man is equal. No matter how rich or poor they were in life. Life is for living, and as they say, you can't take your money with you when you cease to be.

A thoughtful piece and a fine start to your cafe life. Nicely done.

Thank you!
