Have you been to a spacecraft parking lot before?'
The question hung in the air, laced with a hint of sarcasm. His raised eyebrow and smug grin betrayed his true intention - to bask in the glory of his friend's alleged feat.
I chuckled, recalling this story. 'Well, I haven't been there before!'
Apparently, this was a conversation between someone I know and an old friend. The specifics of spacecraft parking lots - the organization, rules, and takeoff procedures - remained a mystery to me.
What struck me, however, was the observation that some people's gratitude can be curiously one-sided. Though thankful at heart, they hesitate to give credit where it's due, leaving their appreciation unspoken.
I just recalled this incident and it matched today's #dailyprompt and so this is me dropping my #freewrite for today
