A promise is a person's word given to another or more than one of an action that is to be taken. Others rely on a person's words and expect that person to honor it. Decades ago, a person's word was their bond. There were no written contracts. Only a promise to fulfill an action. That was trust. When it is broken, the person is not seen as reliable and may be shunned. Future dealings may be forfeited if a promise is not kept. Broken promises can ruin a reputation. I share a micro-story in the format of a ZAPFIC50 Monday challenge. This new challenge was created by @felt-buzz. It presented the opportunity to explore this week's prompt: "promise".

My story is below:

Gathering his portfolio, Mason dismissed the handshake.

His chest filled with pride, he whistled as he called his wife.

His first commissioned works called for a celebration.

Mason visited the gallery daily for two weeks. His paintings weren't displayed as promised.

His calls went unanswered.

He remembered the uneasy handshake.

Una promesa es la palabra dada por una persona a otra o a más de una de una acción que se va a llevar a cabo. Los demás confían en las palabras de una persona y esperan que esa persona las cumpla. Hace décadas, la palabra de una persona era su vínculo. No había contratos escritos. Sólo una promesa de cumplir una acción. Eso era la confianza. Cuando se rompe, la persona no es considerada fiable y puede ser rechazada. Si no se cumple una promesa, pueden perderse futuros tratos. Las promesas rotas pueden arruinar una reputación. Comparto un microrrelato en formato de reto de los lunes de ZAPFIC50. Este nuevo reto fue creado por @felt-buzz. Me brindó la oportunidad de explorar el tema de esta semana: "promesa".

Mi historia está abajo:

Una imagen vale más que mil palabras

Recogiendo su cartera, Mason desestimó el apretón de manos.

Con el pecho henchido de orgullo, silbó mientras llamaba a su mujer.

Sus primeros encargos merecían una celebración.

Mason visitó la galería a diario durante dos semanas. Sus cuadros no se exponían como había prometido.

Sus llamadas quedaron sin respuesta.

Recordó el incómodo apretón de manos.

Ooh I would love to take part in the challenge
Thanks

Oh, how things turned for Mason... Geez.

He was too trusting. Apparently, the museum curator had other motives or else he wouldn't have retracted his offer to sponsor. In all business dealings, you almost have to have an agreement in writing. That way, no ill will or misunderstood intentions can crop up.

Even if you do all this, something still may happen.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it and your constant support.
