I am sorry, but just out of curiosity, do you have another account in the name of @sarez.
Coincidentally or not the story and the characters resembles to the one I read last week for the same story telling. Check this link https://steemit.com/finishthestory/@sarez/break-my-entry-for-finishthestory#@angelro/ptv63p.
I clearly remembers the names and the hero in the end Sean is hitting hid forehead in the rock and the end of the story with the girl.
I searched all over my comments to pick the link to read it again that both are having the same plot. And even that was too shortlisted by @curie..
Any how this story too looks good.
They really don't have the same plot, the scene set is different (one in the waters, one from a rock) the pink-haired girl survives, this Sean doesn't have traumas from the past persecuting him and not even he forgot to take some drugs. The crowd survives, there's a sacrifice ritual... And so on. It's a different story. I just say this because envisaging plagiarism or even a double identity is not nice at all. Especially when we have two different stories. I'm curious, where exactly and possibly for Bananafish sake did you see similarities? Even the style and lexicon are different. Sarez and sidequest are known different steemians and the @curie manual selection process is pretty deep and scrupolous.
My apologies, all i was remembering was the name of Sean, the pretty girl, the sea and the other incidents happened there. Then I really thought how come this story again as I am not that familiar with those banana story episodes.
Anyhow is it OK to edit that part of my comment.? Let me know.
No problem @angelro. I understood after that probably you weren't familiar with the contest and you didn't get that the prompt is the same for everyone. Sorry but I'm very protective with the folks of my community. Why don't you join us and write with us :-) Yes you can edit it, there's no problem for me.. - f3nix
Oh..my..My... apologies once more, Honestly I came across many times this finish my story blog, I did not give due care because story writing was never my cup of tea. My only relation with stories are to enjoy those. And just for information (and not as a justification) as I read those stories it really caught into my senses as I really liked it and that was the reason I really got confused when I gone through the second story'. Sorry again and I will edit it for sure.
But what I want to convey you (@banana fish) now is that your question
put a spark deep in my heart. I was a confused lot and thought for minutes (not hours) and just made few lines not seriously though. Then I checked that respective post of yours and saw only few hours left for the deadline to reach. Then my question was like "Whether to write or not,' especially I saw it required.minimum 500 words then it looked like as really a race against time, and in life I always enjoyed such challenges and I completed a story just like an preparing an Instant noodle.
I posted it there for your consideration, hope you will go through it and get me some opinion on my first and probably last attempt ...
Thank you
No, I'm not sarez, but the start of the our stories are the same because it's a contest where we all use the same beginning (written by someone else, this week it's dirge) and then finish the story however we want. Here's a link to the contest page:

I understood only after why he got confused!
