The prompt alien space craft crash for this microfiction story reminds me of tall tales I heard as a child together with television series of aliens and space crafts visiting Earth. My siblings and friends didn't know if the stories behind were true. But we did believe. I share my flash fiction called ZAPFIC50, a 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: 24 August 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2474: alien space craft crash. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
"If it wasn't an alien space craft crash, then my name ain't Homer!" Frowning whenever contradicting Otis, his exploratory group's leader, Homer jerked his head toward the window.
Silence shrouded the roadside diner.
Suddenly, waitress Mattie bolted from the counter screaming as an ominous cloud settled overhead.
Mattie trusted Homer!
El tema de este microrrelato un accidente de una nave espacial alienígena me recuerda a los cuentos que oía de niño y a las series de televisión sobre extraterrestres y naves espaciales que visitaban la Tierra. Mis hermanos y amigos no sabían si las historias eran ciertas. Pero las creíamos. Comparto mi flash fiction llamado ZAPFIC50, una historia que se cuenta en exactamente 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.
«¡Si no ha sido un accidente de una nave espacial alienígena, entonces no me llamo Homer!». Frunciendo el ceño cada vez que contradecía a Otis, el líder de su grupo de exploración, Homer sacudió la cabeza hacia la ventana.
El silencio envolvió la cafetería de carretera.
De repente, la camarera Mattie salió corriendo del mostrador gritando mientras una nube ominosa se posaba sobre su cabeza.
¡Mattie confiaba en Homer!
