Distractions Can Be Costly When Competiting : ZAPFIC50 | Based on 5 Minute Freewrite (Day 1844) | Prompt: watch
Source
This microfiction story is for the prompt "watch". It reminds me of a competition that I found exciting. It's called logrolling or birling. It's truly a unique sport that requires agility and concentration. Any distractions can result in loss of the competition or injury. I created my ZAPFIC50 story around this sporting event and is told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: Day 1844: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: watch. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @mariannewest's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
Heart racing after several jumps, Murray managed to maintain his balance long enough on the last log for his brother to catch up.
Suddenly, he glanced sideways, and the log rolled.
Falling, all he could do was watch helplessly from the water as Lawrence leaped ashore laughing, waiving the trophy.
The screenshot at WORDCOUNTER.net evidences my use of exactly 50 words to create my ZapFic50.
Thanks,

Hello. I appreciate your visit. Yes, log rolling is an interesting sport. It's also popular enough to be a competitive one in a league. If not a professional, it can be a challenge and may be difficult to navigate, thereby resulting in injury.
By the way, welcome to Hive and thanks for the engagement. I love your name, Christiana. I'm Chris. Hope to read some of your freewrite stories in the Community.
