My best wishes for the weekend to all members of the Freewriters community!

It’s been nearly a month since I last posted to this community.

This is my entry to the Writing Prompt by mariannewest@mariannewest for 6 June 2026, Freewriters Community Daily Writing Prompt Day 3126: can’t afford the rent.

"Hello?"

“Hello, Mr. Jones.”

“Oh, hello, Adam. How are you doing?”

“I’m fine, thanks. It’s just something that I wanted to tell you. That’s why I called you.”

“OK, what is it? What can I do for you?”

“You know Mr. Jones, I’m really happy with the apartment. It’s a really nice and comfortable place to live, and I enjoy it.”

“OK, so what’s bothering you?”

“Unfortunately, I was laid off last week, because the company I worked for had to do staff cuts. Although I have found another job, I will be paid much less than my previous job. Under these circumstances, I can’t afford the rent.”

“Oh, I see. Well, I’ve got another property with a lower rent for you, in case you are interested.”

“Yes, sure. This would suit me perfectly.”

“Alright then. Just give me a call, so we can go there to show it to you.”
