19 June, 2025 @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2772 | Prompt: winging it (improvisando)
MicroFiction: A 250 word story format that I often utilize to address the daily prompts. The story today is written using the word prompt "winging it".
...Many times in life we're called upon to make choices that we're either unprepared to do or wish not to. In any event, consequences that can occur may be slight or severe. I share a micro fiction in that vein.
For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of 19 June 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2772: winging it.
Below is my story:
It all boiled down to this: Did Elliott have enough time to prepare? or did he just not give a damn about the perception of incompetence weaving through the meeting's attendees. Either way, each threatened to upend his two-year internship in the medical field spied by Victor. Engrossed in thought, Elliott sat staring out the window.
But in all things fair and unknown, Elliott suffered from two ailments. At least one would befell him.
Six months ago, Elliott unexpectedly received an invitation. His finger traced hard the envelope's gold-edged rim until blood oozed. Immediately, his hand flew up and allowed the trickle to land gently on his upturned face. Smearing the crimson, he froze, then remembered the elegant, handwritten note. Removing the now blood-smeared paper, he read, "Please attend a soiree next weekend."
Further down, the words, Black Tie Masquerade, Victor Roberts glared back. With steady hands, the delicate paper tore in half. He watched as both halves landed at his feet. Unable to control his desires, he must decline.
In a shaking, rage-filled voice, Victor shouted, "you incompetent moron!” then slammed his fist on the table, upsetting coffee mugs and startling new interns, “How the hell did you get into the program?”
Elliott stared at Victor for a long moment before canvassing the room of white jackets. His mouth was dry, except for the recent saliva containing blood. All waited.
Rising from the table, his back stiff, he answered calmly, "by sleeping with your wife."
Elliott swirled. Then vanished.

Microficción: Relato de 250 palabras escrito a partir de la palabra "improvisando".
...Muchas veces en la vida se nos pide que tomemos decisiones para las que no estamos preparados o deseamos no hacerlo. En cualquier caso, las consecuencias que pueden producirse pueden ser leves o graves. Comparto una micro ficción en ese sentido.
Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de 19 June 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2772: winging it.
A continuación mi historia.
Verdad o consecuencia
Todo se reducía a esto: ¿Tuvo Elliott tiempo suficiente para prepararse? o simplemente le importaba un bledo la percepción de incompetencia que se extendía entre los asistentes a la reunión. En cualquier caso, cada una de ellas amenazaba con poner patas arriba sus dos años de prácticas en el campo de la medicina espiadas por Víctor. Absorto en sus pensamientos, Elliott se sentó mirando por la ventana.
Pero en todo lo justo y desconocido, Elliott padecía dos males. Al menos una le sobrevendría.
Seis meses atrás, Elliott recibió inesperadamente una invitación. Su dedo recorrió con fuerza el borde dorado del sobre hasta que supuró sangre. Inmediatamente, levantó la mano y dejó que el hilillo cayera suavemente sobre su cara respingona. Se frotó el carmesí, se quedó inmóvil y luego recordó la elegante nota manuscrita. Al retirar el papel, ahora manchado de sangre, leyó: «Por favor, asista a una velada el próximo fin de semana ».
Más abajo, las palabras Black Tie Masquerade (Mascarada de corbata negra), Victor Roberts le devolvieron la mirada. Con manos firmes, el delicado papel se partió por la mitad. Vio cómo ambas mitades caían a sus pies. Incapaz de controlar sus deseos, tuvo que negarse.
Con voz temblorosa y llena de rabia, Víctor gritó: «¡Imbécil incompetente!», y luego golpeó la mesa con el puño, volcando las tazas de café y sobresaltando a los nuevos internos: «¿Cómo demonios has entrado en el programa?».
Elliott miró fijamente a Víctor durante un largo momento antes de sondear la sala de las chaquetas blancas. Tenía la boca seca, salvo por la reciente saliva que contenía sangre. Todos esperaban.
Levantándose de la mesa, con la espalda rígida, contestó con calma: «acostándome con tu mujer».
Elliott se arremolinó. Luego desapareció.
