I had to contemplate for a bit for today's prompt don't amputate. The word usually means a person or animal has been hurt to the point they require surgery to cut off the injured part of the body. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to medical procedures. That's probably why I didn't choose the medical field as a profession.
However, the word can be used to describe an action people takes to distance themselves from an unbearable situation. They want to cut off or separate themselves. I share a micro-fiction for the prompt that analyzes the first definition I used in the form of 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: 23 December 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2595: don’t amputate. 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.
Allen spat in the terrorist's direction. "It would serve him right, but don't amputate. Otherwise, we'll have to carry him. He should've died alongside his hijacker friends who sabotaged the plane."
With mixed emotions, Corey amputated, citing his oath and Christian upbringing.
Trekking, the weight of his Christianity bore heavily.
No Pity For the Perpetrator
He tenido que reflexionar un poco sobre el tema de hoy no amputar. La palabra suele significar que una persona o un animal se han hecho daño hasta el punto de necesitar una intervención quirúrgica para cortar la parte lesionada del cuerpo. Soy un poco aprensivo cuando se trata de procedimientos médicos. Probablemente por eso no elegí la medicina como profesión.
Sin embargo, la palabra puede utilizarse para describir una acción que la gente realiza para distanciarse de una situación insoportable. Quieren aislarse o separarse. Comparto una microficción para el reto que analiza la primera definición que utilicé en forma de una historia ZAPFIC50 contada en exactamente 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.
Basé mi historia de 50 palabras en el texto de @mariannewest: 23 de diciembre de 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2595: don't amputate. Si quieres participar en las sugerencias diarias, visita el perfil de @daily.prompt y consulta la sugerencia de escritura libre de cada día.

Sin piedad para el autor
Allen escupió en dirección al terrorista. «Le estaría bien empleado, pero no lo amputéis. Si no, tendremos que cargar con él. Debería haber muerto junto a sus amigos secuestradores que sabotearon el avión».
Con sentimientos encontrados, Corey amputó, citando su juramento y su educación cristiana.
Caminando, el peso de su cristianismo pesaba.

Corey literally picked up his cross ... and carried it ... offering life-saving grace and paying for doing that ... that story does hit hard ...
Were it not for Corey's convictions, the man who meant him harm, wouldn't have survived. It does give one a moment to pause, when you have been harmed by others. I think of the wristband I have: WWJD.
Thanks so much for your visit and thoughtful insight. I appreciate it, your engagement, and support. Take care.
