The Snail Race

By Brandon Gibney

The story is about a snail named Gary looking to fulfill lifelong dreams of his late father: to defeat his rival, Pierre Escargot, in a race. Gary was overcome by the pressure of living up to his father’s name. He was intimidated by Pierre’s fame. Gary sees his father in a dream who sends him a message saying he loves him for who he is and that it’s not just about winning, but rather giving it your all. Gary suddenly feels relief and knows he can fulfill his dreams simply by trying his best. The next day, Gary sees his father again in a vision where his father says that Pierre’s overconfidence is his downfall. Gary realizes if he ignores Pierre and focuses on his own race, he can win. The race occurs and Gary is victorious. Gary celebrates knowing he was able to finally beat his father’s rival.
