Drabble: A 100 word story written using the word prompt "in custody".

...When we think of something or someone being "in custody", we immediately envision that of wrongdoing. My heart is heavy for the mistreatment of humans. But for animals, there are no words to express those who participate in the unnecessary slaughtering of animals for profit's sake. These actions may lead to possible extinction of a species. I leave here my ZAPFIC100 story told in exactly 100 words. The format was created by @felt.buzz.

For my theme, I was inspired by the @daily.prompt's publishing of @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2057: in custody.

Below is my story:

Randy made small talk, then yawned. "Think I'll turn in for the night. We've had a good day. Sorry, I wasn't much help this trip." He pointed to his arm cast.

"Good? You underestimate. I'd say, incredible," the leader boasted. Can't wait to deliver this haul. My new buyer is offering a ridiculous amount for his foreign collector."

Randy turned and signaled the authorities. "Poachers in custody."

He stopped the arm cast's recorder camera.

"Nice work, Ranger. The perpetrators will be prosecuted."

Heartbroken, Randy walked toward the partially-buried carcasses and dropped to his knees.

He caressed the horns, then wept.

Drabble: Una historia de 100 palabras escrita usando la palabra "en custodia".

...Cuando pensamos en que algo o alguien está "detenido", inmediatamente nos imaginamos que se trata de una fechoría. Me duele el corazón por el maltrato a los seres humanos. Pero para los animales, no hay palabras para expresar a quienes participan en el sacrificio innecesario de animales por afán de lucro. Estas acciones pueden llevar a la posible extinción de una especie. Dejo aquí mi historia ZAPFIC100 contada en exactamente 100 palabras. 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 2057: in custody.

A continuación mi historia.

Forrar los bolsillos en lugar del paisaje

Randy charló un poco y luego bostezó. "Creo que me acostaré esta noche. Hemos tenido un buen día. Lo siento, no he sido de mucha ayuda en este viaje". Señaló la escayola de su brazo.

¿"Bien"? Lo subestimas. Yo diría que increíble", presumió el líder. Estoy impaciente por entregar este botín. Mi nuevo comprador ofrece una cantidad ridícula por su coleccionista extranjero".

Randy se giró e hizo una señal a las autoridades. "Cazadores furtivos bajo custodia".

Detuvo la cámara grabadora del brazo de reparto.

"Buen trabajo, Ranger. Los autores serán procesados".

Con el corazón roto, Randy caminó hacia los cadáveres parcialmente enterrados y se arrodilló.

Acarició los cuernos y luego lloró.

I hope randy is able to find some peace in knowing that he did everything he could to stop these criminals. Stay strong, my friend.

I hope so too, @malos10, that Randy can finally put this particular case behind him of animal cruelty and poaching. It seems as though he feels deeply for the protection of animals, especially those that are endangered.

Thanks so much for your visit and lovely words. I appreciate your support.

Take care.
