12 August 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2827: reject it
Tunde reclined in his chair, looking at the agreement in his hand. "They presented me the offer again," he said carefully. "They told me it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
Amaka raised an eyebrow. "And what does your stomach say? "
"Honestly? " Tunde responded, his voice muted. "Something feels wrong. The conditions appear good, but there is a catch. "
"Then reject it," Amaka said firmly. "Peace of mind is more valuable than profit. "
Tunde pondered, "But what if I'm making a mistake? "
"Mistakes happen when you disregard your instincts rather than defend yourself," she explained. You cannot drink from a cup that you know is contaminated. "
He laughed. "You make it sound so simple. "
"It is," she grinned. "Sometimes saying 'no' is the true power move. "
