The moment I saw the prompt for today, I knew that a terrible incident that occurred down in the subway. I didn't want the situation to be too gruesome, so devised a flash fiction story about hope. My flash fiction is a ZAPFIC50 story told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 18 october 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2529: down in the subway. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
Beads of sweat dripped on Victor's collar. Glancing at his watch, he cursed. Fifth tardy incident that month would result in a week's docked pay and removal from the overtime pool. His goal of saving for a new car faded as suddenly he slipped and fell down in the subway.
A Dream of Independence
En cuanto vi el tema de hoy, supe que se trataba de un terrible incidente ocurrido en el metro. No quería que la situación fuera demasiado truculenta, así que ideé una historia de ficción flash sobre la esperanza. Mi flash fiction es una historia ZAPFIC50 contada exactamente en 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.
Basé mi historia de 50 palabras en el texto de @mariannewest: 18 de octubre de 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2529: down in the subway. Si quieres participar en los ejercicios diarios, visita el perfil de @daily.prompt y consulta el ejercicio de escritura libre de cada día.

Un sueño de independencia
Gotas de sudor goteaban sobre el cuello de Víctor. Miró el reloj y maldijo. El quinto retraso de ese mes le supondría una semana de descuento en el sueldo y la expulsión de la bolsa de horas extra. Su objetivo de ahorrar para comprarse un coche nuevo se desvaneció cuando, de repente, resbaló y se cayó en el metro.

WOw. what a bad thing. and what happened to him, did he fracture his leg, his hand, or in the worst case, Victor died, I want to know more. I remain worried.
Victor just missed the train; thereby making him late for work causing the domino effect I mentioned of things would happen culminating in him not being able to purchase a new car. Sometimes it can be as simple as a slip.
Thanks so much for your visit. I love all the consequences you list of his mishap. I appreciate your constant support. Take care.

Ouch, that hurt in more ways than one.
Yes, it did @myjob since the accident caused him to first be late, then other consequences arose that caused him to lose precious days from work and saving for his dream vehicle.
Thanks so much @hivepakistan for the manual curation and support of my freewrite story.
I am very sorry to read this story because we all can do anything in this world if our hands and feet are healthy.
Yes, that is true @djbravo that we can do what desire if we are healthy. The fact that a person experiences an accident and then is penalized for it at his workplace hampers that person's progress toward his goals.
Thanks for your visit and engagement. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.
