Until Death Us Do Part | ZAPFIC MONDAY (9/11/23) | Prompt: wedding (boda) [Eng/Esp]

in Freewriters8 months ago

ZAFICMondays-Logo.png

A happy occasion. That is what this week's ZAPFIC Monday challenge prompt "wedding" suggests. All is well. The union of two starting a new life together. But not all weddings start or end well. I share a flash fiction story that relates to the prompt in the format of a ZAPFICMonday. The format calls for a micro story that is a well-formulated thought written in 240 characters or less. That's not as easy as it sounds. The format was created by @felt.buzz.

My story is below:

Sylvia stood rigid, eyeing Sylvester. Interested, she nodded.

Like all suitors, he froze, undecided.

No longer able to desist, he rushed over, proclaiming, "I'm yours until death us do part."

"That won't be long my love for I am Black Widow."

Una ocasión feliz. Eso es lo que sugiere el tema "boda" del desafío del lunes de ZAPFIC de esta semana. Todo está bien. La unión de dos que comienzan una nueva vida juntos. Pero no todas las bodas empiezan o acaban bien. Comparto un relato de ficción flash relacionado con el tema en el formato de los lunes de ZAPFIC. El formato requiere un microrrelato que sea un pensamiento bien formulado escrito en 240 caracteres o menos. No es tan fácil como parece. El formato ha sido creado por @felt.buzz.

Mi historia está abajo:

Hasta que la muerte nos separe

Sylvia se quedó rígida, mirando a Sylvester. Interesada, asintió.

Como todos los pretendientes, se quedó inmóvil, indeciso.

Sin poder desistir, se abalanzó sobre ella y proclamó: "Soy tuya hasta que la muerte nos separe".

"No será mucho tiempo, mi amor, porque yo soy la Viuda Negra".

Wow! Can I say love is blind here? Sylvester is quick to accept the death sentence handed to him by proclaiming the words, "...till death do us part". He makes the job very easy of Sylvia, the black widow (She cackles like a true villain). 😂 An interesting way to interpret the prompt. Well done!

@kemmyb, you successfully shared 0.1000 LOH with @justclickindiva and you earned 0.1000 LOH as tips. (2/4 calls)

Yes, love is definitely blind in this relationship. Sometimes accepting a situation is easier than protesting and finding reasons not to move forward or rush in. Actions have consequences. But at the moment, caution is tossed aside. Temporary satisfaction without thinking of the long term effects.

Thanks for your lovely compliment about the structure of my flash fiction. I wanted to approach the prompt a bit differently this time. I"m happy to hear you liked it. Also, thanks for the gift Tokens. I appreciate it.

I also appreciate your visit and support. Take care and have a wonderful rest of your week.

Wow, that was a twist! I didn't expect Sylvia to be Black Widow.

I like how you used the word "rigid" to describe Sylvia's body language. It suggests that she is strong and determined, but also cautious. The way she nods her head is also interesting. It's not a simple yes or no, but something more ambiguous.

The last line is the best part. It's a great way to reveal Sylvia's true identity and also add a touch of humor. I love the way you used the phrase "my love" to make it sound like Sylvester is in love with Sylvia, even though he doesn't know who she really is.

An awesome analysis @malos10. You are spot on as the two lovers evaluate each other before making a move. It's a cat and mouse game where the experienced female has an advantage over the unsuspecting male. I'm pleased you liked the last line. I was especially proud of that one making it appear as though the two are intimate.

Thanks so much for your visit and lovely words for my freewrite flash fiction. I appreciate it and your support. Take care.

Hello @amberkashif. Yes, Sylvester appears to be in danger. However, he doesn't appear to be thinking clearly. He can't penetrate her disguise and see the real truth that she is deadly. He's not thinking of his future at that moment.

Thanks so much for your visit and support. Take care and have a great rest of your week.

What bad luck the boyfriend had when he met the black widow 😃 greetings @justclickindiva

Very bad luck @alborhada. I have a feeling that he wished he had made a different choice than to submit to his feelings. It just may have cost him his life.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my flash fiction story. Thanks for your support. Take care.

Hahaha
I wish he met a lovely person instead of meeting a black widow

Love is blind. Some fall victim easily than others. Taking more time to know what you are heading into is a good idea.

Thank you for stopping by and engaging. Take care.

😂😂
That didn't end well.
He is unlucky.

Not at all. Caution should have rose up instead of tossing it to the wind and then rushing in blindly. You never know what you're going to get. Sometimes "unlucky" is brought upon one's self.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it and your support. Take care and have a good rest of your week.

You are welcome.

Off topic, but Silvia looks so beautiful and attractive.

Not off topic. That's the attraction Sylvester can't control. I'm happy you noticed it. A good catch. Thanks for your visit and read of my flash fiction. Take care.
