MicroFiction: A 250 word story format that I often utilize to address the daily prompts. The story today is written using the word prompt "I don't belong".

...A feeling of not belonging is a crushing blow to one's self-esteem and confidence. Often the feeling results from words said or actions detected that perhaps are intentional or not. In any event, once the damage that been inflicted, it's difficult to regain trust in another person. For any relationship, there has to be trust, mutual respect, and a sense of belonging in the relationship. I share with you a micro-fiction story that addresses the prompt.

For my theme, I was inspired by and utilized the @daily.prompt's publishing of 22 May 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2744: I don’t belong.

Below is my story:

"Only a fool would overlook it!" Frances' outburst turned heads in the restaurant. *"I won't stay where I disrespected. Obviously, I don't belong in your life." She flipped her hair to one side. "There's nothing here I want to take with me into my next life."

Those words stung. But other concerns took precedence.

"But what about the..." Marcello rushed in.

She hesitated. "Not that you deserve it, but I'll let you know my decision. It's my choice, not yours since you obviously wasn't thinking about Us when you laid down with dogs and came up with flees. But then, I. Was. Warned."

A flash from the night before sent a tingling throughout his loins. He licked his lips, then jerked his head away hoping his actions would to undetected.

A distinct difference existed between no longer caring and concerned about one's safety.

Both rushed to the forefront as Frances observed Marcello's actions. Sifting through the mountain of lies, remorse wasn't among them.

The next day, from his second story flat, Marcello spotted her. Back turned away as if issuing one final dismissal. Walking as if she owned the sidewalk -- my side of the street, hubris revealed. The street where he reigned supreme. The street she abhorred like a diseased animal to be stricken. The street she abandoned the day she packed up and moved out.

East she headed out of his life.

At least she paid her part of that month's rent and didn't claim the car they shared.

Microficción: Formato de relato de 250 palabras que utilizo a menudo para responder a las preguntas diarias. La historia de hoy está escrita con la palabra "No pertenezco".

...El sentimiento de no pertenencia es un golpe demoledor para la autoestima y la confianza en uno mismo. A menudo el sentimiento es consecuencia de palabras dichas o acciones detectadas que quizá sean intencionadas o no. En cualquier caso, una vez infligido el daño, es difícil recuperar la confianza en otra persona. En cualquier relación tiene que haber confianza, respeto mutuo y un sentimiento de pertenencia a la relación. Comparto con ustedes un microrrelato de ficción que aborda el tema.

Para mi tema, me inspiré y utilicé la publicación de @daily.prompt de 22 May 2025, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2744: I don’t belong.

A continuación mi historia.

rinreMr4T-dividerline-Resized.png

Día de la mudanza

«¡Sólo un tonto lo pasaría por alto!» El arrebato de Frances hizo girar cabezas en el restaurante. "No me quedaré donde me faltaron al respeto. Obviamente, no pertenezco a tu vida " Se revolvió el pelo hacia un lado. «No hay nada aquí que quiera llevarme a mi próxima vida ».

Esas palabras dolieron. Pero otras preocupaciones tenían prioridad.

«¿Pero qué pasa con el...?» Marcello se precipitó.

Ella vaciló. "No es que te lo merezcas, pero te haré saber mi decisión. Es mi decisión, no la tuya ya que obviamente no estabas pensando en Nosotros cuando te acostaste con perros y saliste huyendo. Pero entonces, Yo. Fui. Advertido. "

Un recuerdo de la noche anterior le produjo un hormigueo en las entrañas. Se lamió los labios y apartó la cabeza con la esperanza de que sus acciones pasaran desapercibidas.

Había una clara diferencia entre dejar de preocuparse y preocuparse por la propia seguridad.

Ambas pasaron a primer plano cuando Frances observó las acciones de Marcello. Cribando la montaña de mentiras, el remordimiento no estaba entre ellas.

Al día siguiente, desde su piso del segundo piso, Marcello la vio. Le dio la espalda, como si la despidiera por última vez. Caminando como si fuera la dueña de la acera... mi lado de la calle, arrogancia revelada. La calle donde él reinaba supremo. La calle que ella aborrecía como a un animal enfermo al que atacar. La calle que abandonó el día que hizo las maletas y se mudó.

Al este se dirigió fuera de su vida.

Al menos pagó su parte del alquiler de ese mes y no reclamó el coche que compartían.

We are all looking for that place where we can belong.

That is true @neblomax, and if we discover the place we currently are at is no longer a safe haven, then we must depart. Life is too short.

Take care.
