Drinkin' Pop (a 5o-Word Story for @jayna)
Drinkin' Pop (a 5o-Word Story for @jayna).
(Versión en español al final).
Greetings, 50-worders and readers. This is my entry to @jayna's #fiftywords challenge. This week’s prompt is “Pop.” You can see the original post here: https://steemit.com/challenge/@jayna/fifty-wordchallengestoryround-upandnewprompt-y0mj3yqsw2
We were watching TV.
Pop flew away the room’s curtain and slapped Ma’.
She sprung up, grabbed his neck and disappeared behind the curtain.
We looked at each other half amused. Then he popped out of the room.
Ma’ wiped the blood and sat back on.
“What did I miss?”
Pa' bebedor
Estábamos viendo televisión.
Pa' abrió la cortina del cuarto y con la misma le pegó a Ma'.
Ella se levantó, lo agarro por el cuello y desaparecieron detras de la cortina.
Nos quedamos viendo sorprendidos. De pronto salió disparado.
Ma’ se limpió la sangre y se volvió a sentar.
“¿Qué me perdí?”
Thanks for your reading. Looking forward to your comments.
A sad reality for some children and worse still for the husband or wife that is beaten... Bad enough to be beaten, but in front of the children.. Lowest of the low.. No excuse, nonhiding place, just a disgrace..
It is indeed. A tough issue with nonredeemable ramifications. Thanks for commenting
Wow, @hlezama, there is a lot going on in this story. It sounds like one or the other of the parents may not survive this fight!
By the way, just wanted to point you to the image guidelines in the prompt post. Images need to be ones that you own, or they should be from a Creative Commons site. There are some great resources in the challenge post for how to find free images.
But images pulled from the internet or someone’s blog are not okay, unless you specifically received permission. Thanks!
Thanks for your comments, @jayna. I'll replace the images
Awesome! Thank you so much.
Some parents do not know how harmful it is for children to witness domestic violence. It undoubtedly spoils children's psychological and emotional development . Great short story.
Yes. In some cases the damage is beyond repair. The characters in the story have some creepy coping mechanism, though. Thanks for commenting.
Yes, They do . Indeed.
"What did I miss?".
Ah, pop popped out of the room indeed, if you know what I mean. What did we miss!
It's a good story. Twisted. Liked it a lot they way you approached the plot.
Thanks for sharing, @hlezama ☻
