Protecting Your Livestock Investment : ZAPFIC50 | Based on 5 Minute Freewrite (Day 1853) | Prompt: barn animals

^Source

Growing up, our family raised poultry. It was fun to feed the animals. Little did we know that this was just one of the ways our parents brought in extra money for the family. They'd sell the chickens and eggs. Needless to say, we ate plenty poultry and eggs. Perhaps, that's the reason I love both today. I recall a time when predators threatened our livelihood and share it with a ZAPFIC story for the prompt "barn animals" 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 1853: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: barn animals. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile.

Below is my story.

Ennis woke to a loud disturbance.

"Not again. The predators must be frightening the barn animals," he hissed as he rushed to get his weapon.

He was sure he'd turned the safety alarm on.

Rushing into the backyard, he stood helpless as he surveyed the damage to his poultry house.

The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.

Hello. I appreciate you stopping by. Yes, my parents were resourceful, especially my mom. She also had a garden where she grew peppers and veggies, such as okra, greens, cabbage, tomatoes.

Take care.

Well, it seems to be common among families these days to have a livestock farm or poultry. In my case, my dad encouraged each on of house to have a livestock farm of our own, though it was not forced, it is a family thing.

Thanks for sharing.

How nice to have a livestock farm. It can be profitable and enjoyable.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate your support. Take care and have a good holiday.
