Glass Half...

Well? Is your glass half empty or half full? It'll have to be both to nail this challenge! I task you to write two stories (one a sequel/prequel of the other), about the same event, conversation etc, but one from an optimistic view, and one from a pessimistic view... It can be the view of two different characters, a third person commentary talking about positives and negatives - run with it! I'll be looking for some decent characterisation, a good cohesion between both stories, and of course a good ol' dose of originality and flair! I give thee two weeks... Go!
