Plots for all (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 “danger.”
Plots for all
I never felt I was in danger until my third brother died.
“Is it true she’s 123 years old?,” he asked before succumbing to that strange aging disease.
Back from his burial, Ma’ patted my back, “So thoughtful of you, buying all those plots for your father, brothers and yourself.”
Para mis lectores de habla hispana:

Parcelas para todos (Una historia en 50 palabras)
Nunca me sentí en peligro hasta que mi tercer hermano murió.
“Es verdad que tiene 123 años?,” me preguntó antes de sucumbir ante esa extraña enfermedad envejecedora.
Cuando regresamos del entierro, Ma’ me dio un golpecito en la espalda, “Fue muy considera'o de tu parte, compra' toda'j esas parcelas pa' tu papá, tu'j hermanos y pa' tí.”

Thanks for your reading. Looking forward to your comments.
What a quirky and interesting story! Nice work.
Thank you, @jayna. I grew up in a quirky town, i guess, surrounded by quirky people who thought the rest of the world was. :)
Happy to be part of this.
Great job, @hlezama. You wrote about something that we don’t want to think about, but is inevitable. Love the twist at the end from mom.
Thanks for your comment. Sometimes characters find ways to twist and turn on their own.
