A series of short stories, following the stories of various criminals cursed to die in 100 days.

For example:

One person might try to find redemption; another might built a vehicle to outrun the sunset and extend his days.

Knowing that they will die in 100 days, what do these people do?

Can you be more specific? I didn't understand anything you were saying.

But I understand something; maybe I'm not sure? If I understand it correctly,

Then I will write a story about two friends who go out into the world in search of redemption.

While one of them failed, another became successful.

Something like that?

One person left to find redemption; another built a vehicle to outrun the sunset and extend his days.

What kind of story would you write?

The latter.

The first line is just showing some examples of possible stories.

The premise is intentionally vague because I didn't plan it through all the way the exact means by which they were cursed isn't very important.

The actual writing prompt is about what these people choose to do, knowing that they are fated to die. Do they repent for their misdeeds or try to find a way to escape their punishment?

The story you gave is one possibility—it's entirely possible for them to "fail" their goal and die miserably. However, success or failure is ultimately only a means of self-satisfaction because—as previously stated—these people are fated to die.

(... Though not necessarily from their curse.)

When a person knows he is about to die.

He will just live his life as he always wanted to buy couldn't as there was something in his life which made him to stop doing what he wanted to.

So either they will live how they wanted to.

Or they will do evil because when a human knows he will already die at this date.

Even the most bullied will fight when he knows he will die that day.

There was no need for him stay at fear as his death is very near.

In simple when a person knows he is about to die.

He will do something what he will always wanted to do.

Okay? I hope this explains it
