The Unnatural Pet : ZAPFIC50 | Based on 5 Minute Freewrite - Day 1716 (7/7/22) - Prompt: completely untrained
My ZAPFIC50 below is a short story told in exactly 50 words for prompt "completely untrained". In perusing the freewrite prompts for conversion to Zapfic50 stories, completely untrained evoked a sense of unwillingness of certain individuals to come to terms with issues they see; that is, until someone else's life is in peril.
Created by @felt.buzz, I decided to continue to prepare content for the Zapfic50 it whenever the opportunity arises. I based this 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: Day 1716: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: completely untrained.
If you'd like to join in and create a regular 5-minute freewrite from the daily prompts, you can visit @mariannewest's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt. You can also choose to write a story from any other day's prompt. Just remember to place the link to your Zapfic in that day's post you are writing about.
This microfiction story is about an unsuspecting lodger placed in a perilous situation by an abnormal pet who's owner is unwilling to handle any danger the animal may pose. From my screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net, I used exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic.
Here's my story.
The moon, surrounded by semi-dark ethereal gleams, spurred Galileo's incessant howling.
Shocked by the guttural growl from red mounds behind bushes, Jerald retreated.
Angry he couldn't enjoy his property, he reported mysterious neighbor Stanley's pet.
Unconvinced, authorities dropped Jerald's complaint.
Intrigued, an officer returned, only to discover Jerald's lifeless body.
