Well, first off, the floating bridge is at the center. It could be old and rickety or newly built. The characters who interact with the bridge are essential. They might be villagers, adventurers or refugees. Their backstories and motives matter. For example, if they are refugees, the bridge is their path to safety. The location of the bridge, be it in a forest by a stream or in the middle of a large body of water, sets the scene. And any events that happen on or around the bridge, like a near - miss accident or a magical encounter, are also main elements in a floating - bridge short story.
In a post - apocalyptic world, a floating bridge became a symbol of hope. The land was flooded due to some great disaster. People built a floating bridge using whatever materials they could find - pieces of metal, old tires, and ropes. A family of four was trying to reach a safer place across the bridge. The father led the way, followed by the mother and two children. The bridge creaked and groaned as they walked. The wind blew strongly, making it even more difficult. But they held on to each other and finally reached the other side, where they found a community that welcomed them.
The main theme could be about connection. Bridges often symbolize a link between two places or states, so perhaps in this short story it's about connecting different characters, ideas, or parts of a society.
It might be about transition. The bridge could symbolize a passage from one state of being to another in the story. For example, a character might be going through a difficult time in life and the bridge represents the in - between stage.

After killing the main character of the game, he didn't follow the plot. The female lead of the plot didn't accept him. Instead, many of them received a box lunch when they appeared.

It brought many surprises and fun to the readers. "Beyond Time": Status: Upgraded [Short comment: Xianxia novels are a must-read. At least, it can guarantee a lower limit. However, this book is not only a lower limit. In my opinion, the upper limit is extremely high. The plot is extremely brilliant when it is mixed with strangeness. The main character's decisiveness in killing is too much to my liking. It's just that two chapters a day is not enough. I hope to improve it.] Rating: "This Game Is Too Realistic": 9.0 Chen Xing was indeed suitable for this kind of writing. Including the mastermind behind the scenes, he was the fourth catastrophe. The protagonist had traveled to the wasteland hundreds of years in the future. There was a shelter around him that allowed modern people to descend on clones with their consciousness. Therefore, the protagonist used the name of the game to trick players from the Blue Planet to help him build the apocalyptic wasteland. There were many similar novels, and the future plot was controlled by the author. However, Chen Xing was one of the best. 13:"Red Heart Sky Patrol": recommendation index: Key words: classical Xianxia, group portraits, hot-blooded [What to Watch: Every character has flesh and blood, and each character can be singled out to write a story.] There was a lot of money in the famous scenes. At the end of the first volume, Jiang Wang's hair turned white overnight. In the fourth volume, Jiang Wuqi became the autumn frost and chased after Zhang Linchuan for thousands of miles. It was very interesting and had many climaxes. <strong></strong><strong> A slow-moving article. It was very painful to chase after the updates, but the end was very exciting and hot-blooded. It made people feel that the pain at the beginning was worth it. The first volume was about the ordinary and warm daily life of the small town. However, at the end of the first volume, when Jiang Wang's hair turned white overnight, the scene was very shocking. It brought us into this cruel and real world. Although many people criticized Jiang Wang's Red Heart for being "self-adapting Red Heart," I want to say that the protagonist is constantly growing. He is not born with knowledge. He insists on the justice in his heart, upholding the path of a pure child without a guilty conscience, and tries his best to do the best within his ability. 🍻"Since ancient times, heroes have been elected. Who is not a man under me?" "Ring of Destiny": Combining some of the Long Night's writing style, the main character, Li Lumian, is a good seedling of the Hunter pathway.

It was the new work of the great author, the plagiarist, Zhu Tian Liu, GD Immortal Cultivation Liu. The protagonist who transmigrated to the Immortal Cultivation world was only a small Aura Refining cultivator, which was considered to be at the bottom. However, during a calamity, he accidentally opened a passage to a low-level martial world. In that world with a weaker combat system, the protagonist had a smooth sailing. He could slowly develop there, obtain resources to arm himself, and then use the techniques he learned in the Low Level Martial World to return to the Immortal Cultivation World to improve himself. The first advantage of this book was that the settings were perfect. The power systems of the two worlds were completely different, but the author had written them in a rich and perfect way. The readers could clearly see the development of the protagonist, as well as the cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts that the protagonist obtained from the two worlds. Furthermore, the author also wrote about the local customs of the two worlds, and the differences in the lives of the main characters in the two worlds were written very vividly. The second advantage of this book was that the main character's personality was very realistic. As a GD-type character, Gou Zi's character was naturally two-faced and scheming. He was a yes-man in the cultivation world and had the limelight in the low-level martial arts world. He was also decisive in killing. The plagiarist had a good grasp of the protagonist's character, which suited the world he was writing about. After all, in a chaotic world, only cold-blooded egoists could survive. In general, this book was a very good immortal cultivation text. The plagiarism was stable and worth reading. "Who told him to cultivate!" [24's Book Collection Pavilion]"Who told him to cultivate!"

Meng Jingzhou, who had a single spiritual root, and Barbarian Bone, a physics scholar…These characters seemed to be real and brought us joy. [Work Information] Title: Who told him to cultivate! Author: The Whitest Crow [Genre: Xianxia-Ancient Xianxia] [Tagged: relaxed and happy, silly and happy, immortal cultivation] [Status: In Progress (350,000 words)] [Ranking Index] [Reason for recommendation] Lu Yang had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for more than ten years. When he heard that the Immortal Gate was selecting disciples, he also wanted to try his luck. On the way, they met Meng Jingzhou, a disciple of an aristocratic cultivation family, and an extremely beautiful woman. The three of them immediately decided to travel together. On the way, Meng Jingzhou even shared the assessment content he had bought with them. When they arrived at the assessment site, the woman who was traveling with them soared into the air. She was actually the host of the assessment? The two of them were discussing how to cheat in front of the invigilator! Fortunately, the woman had let them go. When the assessment began, Meng Jingzhou had the single spiritual root that everyone was looking at, and Lu Yang had the rare sword seed that was naturally cheap (crossed out). The second test was the story of the three axes. Lu Yang had cheated the River Spirit of its axe and successfully cleared the level, while Meng Jingzhou had jumped into the river and picked up the axe… Ever since Lu Yang entered the cultivation world, the entire northwest of Shanxi Province (excluding) was in chaos.
