A champion in my opinion is a person who exemplifies extraordinary accomplishments in the eyes of society. No matter the deed, the person also has to display a life willingness to do the right thing. But not only display it, that person has to actually follow through on their commitment by daily deeds that align with their words.

Holding one's self out as a leader is done with integrity that exposes the inner self as worthy. I share a flash fiction story along that thought for the prompt "champion" for the ZAPFIC50 Monday challenge. This challenge was created by @felt-buzz.

My story is below:

In the country's eyes, Delores was a champion. Spokesperson for the voiceless. "I write my own speeches and paint about social injustice.," she boasted at the award ceremony.

Her spouse of 25 years sat staring into the abyss.

His untimely and suspicious death a year later uncovered Delores's academic deceit.

En mi opinión, un campeón es una persona que ejemplifica logros extraordinarios a los ojos de la sociedad. Independientemente del hecho, la persona también tiene que mostrar una voluntad de por vida de hacer lo correcto. Pero no sólo tiene que demostrarlo, sino que tiene que cumplir su compromiso con hechos diarios que concuerden con sus palabras.

El hecho de presentarse a uno mismo como líder se hace con una integridad que expone el yo interior como digno. Comparto una historia de ficción flash con este pensamiento para el tema «campeón» del reto de los lunes de ZAPFIC50. Este reto fue creado por @felt-buzz.

A continuación mi historia.

En nombre de la integridad

A los ojos del país, Delores era una campeona. Portavoz de los sin voz. «Escribo mis propios discursos y pinto sobre la injusticia social», alardeó en la ceremonia de entrega.

Su cónyuge desde hacía 25 años estaba sentado mirando al abismo.

Su prematura y sospechosa muerte, un año después, destapó el engaño académico de Delores.

Sort:  

A deceitful and dangerous lifestyle.
They come out pretentious and holy, but totally different on the inside and evil at home.

I have found that to be the case with numerous politicians. A few years ago, I voted for a local politician who now has been accused of rigging his election in his favor by eliciting pity. He had a worker in his office post fake racists texts online against him. Pitiful. Now he refuses to give up his position. Power corrupts, and even the hint of a little power, entices one to shed off their integrity. All we can do now is attempt to unseat him.

Thanks so much for your visit and thoughts on my story. I appreciate it. Take care.

Politicians with their dirty games.
It's sad.
And they think that's the only way to rule.

You are welcome.
I enjoyed reading this.
It made me remember the discussion I had with my landlord this morning as well.

It's happening everyday all around us, and we're unaware until they're exposed. But not often.

That's true.
