Often times, individuals only look at material possessions as their "bright light". This prompt brought to mind situations I've experienced where the loss of my items was minor compared to my family's safety and well-being. I relate a story as a ZAPFIC50 taht'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 1852: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: bright light. 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.
Sirens warned of tornadoes as the Thompsons raced from their house to the cellar for safety.
Securing the door, they huddled close, embracing.
Suddenly darkness. As they waited, destructive debris pounded their shelter.
The father knew they'd lost everything.
Storm passed, they emerged.
"Lord, we thank you!" prayed the mother.
The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.
Thanks,
