MicroFiction: A 250 word story written using the word prompt "lip".

...The prompt for today "lip" can be approached both literally and figuratively. I've had the occasion to use and experience. A lip is a part of a person's facial feature. Describing it in writing affords one numerous options. However, the word also can describe a person's personality. When used in this context, "lip" means that the person is being flippant or talks excessively to the point of annoying the other person or persons. I share a micro story in the format of 250 words.

For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of
@mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2131: lip

Below is my story:

rinreMr4T-dividerline-Resized.png

I never met a dramatic situation I didn't love. Thriving on the four "W's", my parents tired of endless questions.

I remember the day that all changed.

About the age of ten. Upon hearing of a commotion on our street, I ran outside to get the inside scope. I had no idea how dangerous an event that was in progress while I stood there trying to assess the situation.

Turning toward the commotion, the last thing I remembered was being picked up from the sidewalk.

My friends told me that they tried to warn me to get out of the way. Apparently, an ongoing disagreement resulted in one of the individuals involved running away in a hurry. He didn't stop after knocking me down on the concrete. I never knew who the person was. Only after hearing the account from friends did I piece together the event.

The incident happened so quickly that I didn't get a chance to see any portion of it. I concluded that I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In the emergency room, I sat there. My parents looked worried. I looked forlorn and scared. Contemplating my plight, I cried while waiting to see the doctor. My parents felt they hadn't protected me.

Feeling as though I had been in boxing match with a swollen face, blood running down my nose, bruises on my hands and face, one broken tooth, a swollen lip , and a massive headache quelled my thirst for drama.

Microficción: Relato de 250 palabras escrito a partir de la palabra "labio".

...El tema de hoy, "labios", puede abordarse tanto en sentido literal como figurado. He tenido ocasión de usarlo y de experimentarlo. Un labio es una parte del rostro de una persona. Describirlo por escrito ofrece numerosas opciones. Sin embargo, la palabra también puede describir la personalidad de una persona. Cuando se utiliza en este contexto, "labia" significa que la persona está siendo frívola o habla en exceso hasta el punto de molestar a la otra u otras personas. Comparto un microrrelato en formato de 250 palabras.

Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de
@mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2131: lip.

A continuación mi historia.

A veces es mejor no saber

Nunca conocí una situación dramática que no me gustara. Mis padres se cansaron de hacerme preguntas interminables.

Recuerdo el día en que todo cambió.

Alrededor de los diez años. Al oír hablar de un alboroto en nuestra calle, salí corriendo para enterarme desde dentro. No tenía ni idea de lo peligroso que era el suceso mientras me quedaba allí intentando evaluar la situación.

Al girarme hacia la conmoción, lo último que recordaba era que me habían levantado de la acera.

Mis amigos me contaron que intentaron advertirme de que me apartara. Al parecer, un desacuerdo en curso hizo que uno de los implicados huyera a toda prisa. No se detuvo después de derribarme sobre el hormigón. Nunca supe quién era esa persona. Sólo después de escuchar el relato de unos amigos pude reconstruir el suceso.

El incidente ocurrió tan deprisa que no pude ver nada. Llegué a la conclusión de que estaba en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado.

Me senté en urgencias. Mis padres parecían preocupados. Yo parecía desamparado y asustado. Contemplando mi difícil situación, lloré mientras esperaba ver al médico. Mis padres sentían que no me habían protegido.

La sensación de haber participado en un combate de boxeo, con la cara hinchada, sangre por la nariz, moratones en las manos y la cara, un diente roto, el labio hinchado y un fuerte dolor de cabeza, calmó mi sed de drama.

That must have been a painful experience! I take it the person who collided with you was an adult of considerable height? Hence the injuries from your collision with the ground.

My parents often warned me to stay away from people fighting or quarreling because they often find a way to pour their venom on any innocent third party who intervenes or is close by. So when I see such drama, I simply walk away! I know a lot of people that enjoy such and go to watch. I eventually get the gist from them! 😄

From your response to earlier comments, I'm glad your parents got your tooth fixed. A great lesson indeed. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Take care and have a great day. !LADY 💕

Yes, according to my friends, the man was of considerable height and build. Since he pushed he down from behind with considerable force, I didn't have time to react and brace myself.

We were on summer break, so I was all patched up right before the new school year arrived with a new attitude to avoid other people's drama and try to stay out of harm's way.

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

Oh oh so sorry about the broken tooth and swollen lip. I'm pretty sure they hurt a lot.

If only you had known😥

Yep, if only. I was a bit traumatized for a while.

Sorry about that. It's good that experience is past now

Well I think it certainly did. Such a brilliantly told prose that showcases how many of us get nosey at the slightest commotion and run to behold the drama.😄

Yep, it certainly does show the need-to-know aspect of individuals. I learned my lesson after that. The funny thing was, I thought my parents would take me to get my tooth fixed immediately.

But Nooooo.... They decided to teach me a lesson. Walking around with a half-broken tooth unable to smile while being teased over the incident did more for me than anything else! It certainly cured my nosiness.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate it and your kind words for my dilemma.

Take care.

And here was I thinking it was fiction. There was such a ring in it that sounded so true. I think your parents did right but they did get it fixed eventually yeah? Or you have to always live with it. Eitherway, I think you've become a fine person from all your experiences.🌺

Yes, they got it fixed after they felt I had sufficiently learned my lesson and was thoroughly embarrassed. I have endured many childhood and adult experiences. All taught me valuable lessons that I still adhere to today, and teach my children.

Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness. I appreciate it. That's life, as I say. Sometimes you make your bed hard and has to wallow in it for a spell!

Take care.

Sorry about that. It is not that your parents were not protecting you but they may not be with you all the time and I wonder why the person will hit you with concrete
