Drabble: A 100 word story written using the word prompt "another crusade".
...Fighting for worthy causes, whether the threat is perceived to be imminent or not, takes a toll on a person physically and mentally. If a person dedicates him or herself to crusades or aggressively defend their position or the position of others, then they have to pace themselves. They may become weary of the battle. The enthusiasm may be still high, but the energy to pursue their stance may become limited. I share a micro ZAPFIC100 story told in exactly 100 words. The format was created by @felt.buzz.
For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2065: not another crusade.
Below is my story:
On the outskirts of the village with their backs against the thicketed forest, the men stopped to rest.
They leaned against large, damp wooden stumps, comforted by a blazing fire.
Battle weary and bruised, they removed their armor. They laid down their weapons. They slept.
Their horses snorted, then fell silent.
The shoreline whispered their names as ships patiently waited.
Yet to bathe and refresh, the maidens rode in on the wagon, eager to help celebrate their victory.
They could barely raise their heads, let alone anything else.
Thirsting for power, the leader yelled, "Onward!"
"Not another crusade!" they answered.

Drabble: Una historia de 100 palabras escrita usando la palabra "otra cruzada".
...Luchar por causas que merecen la pena, tanto si la amenaza se percibe como inminente como si no, pasa factura a una persona física y mentalmente. Si una persona se dedica a las cruzadas o a defender agresivamente su posición o la de los demás, tiene que ir a su ritmo. Puede cansarse de la batalla. Puede que el entusiasmo siga siendo alto, pero la energía para continuar con su postura puede llegar a ser limitada. Comparto una microhistoria de ZAPFIC100 contada en 100 palabras exactas. El formato fue creado por @felt.buzz.
Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2065: not another crusade.
A continuación mi historia.
Unas largas vacaciones entre batallas no vendrían mal
En las afueras de la aldea, de espaldas a la espesura del bosque, los hombres se detuvieron a descansar.
Se apoyaron en grandes tocones de madera húmeda, reconfortados por un fuego ardiente.
Cansados de la batalla y magullados, se quitaron las armaduras. Dejaron las armas. Durmieron.
Sus caballos resoplaron y luego se callaron.
La costa susurraba sus nombres mientras los barcos esperaban pacientemente.
Sin embargo, para bañarse y refrescarse, las doncellas montaron en el carro, ansiosas por ayudar a celebrar su victoria.
Apenas podían levantar la cabeza, y mucho menos otra cosa.
Sediento de poder, el líder gritó: "¡Adelante!".
"¡Otra cruzada no!", respondieron.
