I love reading, but don't have enough time to devote to it. My book collection is small. However, on occasion, I'll run across a title I've forgotten. I also love to collect various types of antiques. This microfiction is for the prompt "shelf" and deals with antiques. It's a ZAPFIC50 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: Day 1850: 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday - Prompt: shelf. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile.
Below is my story.
A first-year archeologist, Monroe studied the brochure for the grand opening of his country's antiquities' museum.
A limited lumber of visitors were allowed. However, he was certain he'd secure a passage.
Browsing the rare books, his pulse raced after spotting an odd object on a shelf nestled between ancient anthologies.
The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.
Thanks,
