When I think of the prompt for this week's ZAPFIC50 Monday, "liability", I think of a thing or person that is undesirable. A disappointment or embarrassment to a person that places that person in harm's way or at a disadvantage, a compromising position, or a drain on one's financial goals and mental stability. I share a flash fiction story that encompasses exactly 50 words. This format was created by @felt-buzz.

My story is below:

Anita eased the door shut. Covering her mouth, she blinked rapidly trying to comprehend her fiance's words. "She's dead weight."

Upstairs, packing hurriedly, she wasn't quick enough.

Anita realized her ex-husband's correct assessment. At the hospital, she hoped her pleading eyes through slits in the bandages spoke a possible reconciliation.

Cuando pienso en el tema del lunes de ZAPFIC50 de esta semana, "responsabilidad", pienso en algo o en una persona indeseable. Una decepción o una vergüenza para una persona que la pone en peligro o en desventaja, una posición comprometedora o un lastre para sus objetivos financieros y su estabilidad mental. Comparto una historia de ficción flash que abarca exactamente 50 palabras. El creador de este formato es @felt-buzz.

A continuación mi historia.

Su mascarada

Anita cerró la puerta. Tapándose la boca, parpadeó rápidamente intentando comprender las palabras de su prometido. "Es un peso muerto".

Arriba, empacando apresuradamente, no fue lo suficientemente rápida.

Anita se dio cuenta de que su ex marido había acertado. En el hospital, esperaba que sus ojos suplicantes a través de las rendijas de las vendas hablaran de una posible reconciliación.

Her fiance's words were hurtful, how can a person say such a thing to another person?

I feel that he was involved with illegal activities and was not the boss of the operation. Whatever she overheard or witnessed previously place her life in peril without knowing what or who she implicated. Apparently, her ex-husband did not like the new finance. His instincts were spot on. I was just happy he was there as support for her when she needed it.

Thanks so much for your visit and engagement. I appreciate your support. Take care.

In the same way, when a person is disrespected, the confidence of a person is completely lost and the heart of a person does not want to work and talk to people. It is better that we treat people in this way. No ego is needed and people should be respected.

That is completely true @djbravo. The lady's new finance was not treating her well. The ex-husband disliked him and knew he was not a good person. I'm just happy that the ex-husband was there to help her.

Thanks for your visit. Take care.
