100-Word Fiction: ‘You Inspire Me So Much, And You Make Me Want To Just Take Everything And, Y’Know…’

Must work harder
be better
see clearer
longer
straighter
closer
must be fairer
cooler
more even
leaner
stronger
fitter
must take more time
drink less tea
and beer
or more tea
and must be
more sociable
and read more
read quicker
think smarter
think deeper
have ideas
react better
don’t worry so much
just do it
fear less
dash the consequences
look ahead
predict more
aim true
keep focused
know more
or less
love truly
care honestly
think of others
think of myself
take myself seriously
and lightly
and be good
and so on
and so on
and so on
