For this week's ZAPFIC50 Friday challenge, the prompt "thrust" took me in the direction of a combative event. The word itself depicts power action in an unpleasant situation. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz and consists of creating a flash fiction story in exactly fifty (50) words.

My story is below:

The thrust was somewhat awkward. It was expected being his first time.

But it landed in the spot that scored enough points to win a beginner trophy.

His opponent approached professionally. "Your technique doesn't represent an Unrated".

Recalling his coach's advice, Myles suppressed a smile.

He'd found his true calling.

Para el desafío ZAPFIC50 Friday de esta semana, la palabra «empuje» me llevó a pensar en un evento combativo. La palabra en sí misma describe una acción poderosa en una situación desagradable. El desafío fue creado por @felt.buzz y consiste en crear una historia de ficción breve con exactamente cincuenta (50) palabras.

A continuación mi historia.

¿Fue suerte de principiante o una señal de lo que estaba por venir?

El empuje fue un poco torpe. Era de esperar, ya que era su primera vez.

Pero aterrizó en el lugar que le valió los puntos suficientes para ganar un trofeo de principiante.

Su oponente se acercó con profesionalidad. «Tu técnica no es propia de un jugador sin clasificar».

Recordando el consejo de su entrenador, Myles contuvo una sonrisa.

Había encontrado su verdadera vocación.
