An interesting prompt today "water outlet". It reminds me of countries that struggle to provide fresh water for their citizens. This problem is indeed a world health risk. Why can't these countries come together and solve the problem given the brilliant scientists, engineers, and other smart individuals worldwide. But not even that, even in advanced countries, sometimes maintaining healthy supplies of water is challenging.

I don't understand it, but the problem of contamination does exist. Do governments and agencies on different levels allow such problems due to lack of quality control. What other factors could be at play when an entire city falls victim to such machinations? It's beyond my pay grade to figure this one out.

I share a story of my own experience related to today's prompt. My micro-fiction story I converted to a ZAPFIC50 story that's told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.

I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 12 December 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2584: water outlet. 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.

Twenty years we've watched broadcasts.

A dire situation. Cancer cluster.

Thousands of residents affected.

Railroad company denied allegations of hazardous chemicals mishandling.

Water/soil testing still ongoing.

Residents continuously die.

Were it not for my unlucky draw and promise to trust my husband's instincts, we would've moved into that neighborhood.

Nature or Nurture The Unlucky Draw

Un tema interesante para hoy: «la salida del agua». Me recuerda a los países que luchan por suministrar agua potable a sus ciudadanos. Este problema es realmente un riesgo para la salud mundial. ¿Por qué no pueden estos países unirse y resolver el problema, teniendo en cuenta los brillantes científicos, ingenieros y otras personas inteligentes que hay en todo el mundo? Pero ni siquiera eso, incluso en los países avanzados, a veces mantener un suministro saludable de agua es todo un reto.

No lo entiendo, pero el problema de la contaminación existe. ¿Permiten los gobiernos y los organismos de distintos niveles estos problemas debido a la falta de control de calidad? ¿Qué otros factores pueden estar en juego cuando toda una ciudad es víctima de tales maquinaciones? Está más allá de mi nivel salarial averiguarlo.

Comparto una historia de mi propia experiencia relacionada con el tema de hoy. Mi microrrelato de ficción lo he convertido en un relato ZAPFIC50 que se cuenta exactamente en 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.

Basé mi historia de 50 palabras en el texto de @mariannewest: 12 de diciembre de 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2584: water outlet. Si quieres participar en las actividades diarias, visita el perfil de @daily.prompt y consulta la actividad de escritura libre de cada día.

Naturaleza o crianza - El sorteo más desafortunado

Una situación calamitosa. Cúmulo de cáncer.

Miles de residentes afectados.

La empresa ferroviaria niega las acusaciones de manipulación incorrecta de productos químicos peligrosos.

Las pruebas de agua/suelo siguen en curso.

Los residentes mueren continuamente.

Si no fuera por mi desafortunado sorteo y la promesa de confiar en los instintos de mi marido, nos habríamos mudado a ese barrio.
