Hello all Freewrite and Hive members. This week is the first ZAPFICMonday challenge for 2024. For the the prompt "privacy", my thoughts quickly turned to an invasion of someone's personal self and presented the opportunity to explore that theme. The format for the challenge was created by @felt.buzz in which the micro-story is told in 240 characters of less.

My story is below:

Amy stepped into the elegant clawfoot tub. Immersed in bubbles, she relaxed. The moon cast long shadows upon the window above. As a hooded shape formed, she grabbed the remote.

So engrossed was the voyeur that he failed to detect the police.

Hola a todos los miembros de Freewrite y Hive. Esta semana es el primer reto ZAPFICMonday de 2024. Para el reto "privacidad", mis pensamientos se dirigieron rápidamente a una invasión de la intimidad personal de alguien y se me presentó la oportunidad de explorar ese tema. El formato del reto fue creado por @felt.buzz y consiste en contar una microhistoria en menos de 240 caracteres.

Mi historia está abajo:

Cómo se asomó el mirón

Amy se metió en la elegante bañera con patas. Sumergida en las burbujas, se relajó. La luna proyectaba largas sombras sobre la ventana. Cuando se formó una silueta encapuchada, cogió el mando a distancia.

Tan absorto estaba el mirón que no detectó a la policía.

You build the suspense so well that your readers want more! Hehe. I would hate for my privacy to be invaded like this. Good thing the police caught him!

justclickindiva, kemmyb sent you LUV. 🙂 (1/4) tools | trade | connect | daily

Made with LUV by crrdlx.

A similar incident happened to a friend. The situation upset her and caused her to be fearful ever since. I hate it when others change your way of living with foolishness. Thank God the person was apprehended and prevented from further disruption in the neighborhood.

Thanks for your visit and engagement. I appreciate it. Take care.

Very good story! I love to see how people create an entire story with so few characters. Great use of the prompt and I was totally able to visualize her situation and feel her invasion of privacy!

Hello @blueeyes8960. Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my flash fiction. I'm pleased you like how I applied the prompt. Attempting to pull together a cohesive story in 240 characters is a bit challenging. I'm glad I was able to accomplish it by showing the action.

I appreciate your kind compliment and support. Take care and have a good rest of your week.

This will make a thrilling story if you wish to continue at it ma'am. Such a wierd peeper

Yes, there are people who conduct themselves in a horrible manner, especially invading the privacy of others. I'm considering continuing the story in a wider context.

I appreciate your visit and support of my content. I'm pleased you liked my short story.

Take care.

I just wish this story would continue but ofcourse the story has to be short. It’s interesting.

So pleased that you stopped by and viewed my short story @edith-4angelseu and found it interesting. We'll see what happens next.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.

Wow, that's a very nice touch to the story.

Awe...so kind of you to say @balikis95. I appreciate it and the fact that you liked my flash fiction. I hate the fact that there are individuals who don't have a sense of decency and invade others' privacy.

Thanks for your visit and support. Take care.

Well, I do not like them too. I find it very disturbing. Thanks for sharing ☺️.

I love coming across stuff like this as I can see how a story could develope.

Thanks so much @wanderingmoon. 240 characters doesn't leave much for deep dives into a story. You know, I was just thinking of following it up with one of my ZAPFIC250 stories.

Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate it and your support.

Take care.

You deserve you did an excellent job with the prompt, I am shy to show mine 😂
You also encouraged me that I could do more than just soar out words that come to my head, that I could be more creative. So, thank you.

Nice story and the continuity will be amazing
Happy new year!
