Mazoli's March | ZAPFIC MONDAY (3/25/24) | Prompt: rotten (podrido)

ZAFICMondays-Logo.png

An interesting prompt for this week's ZAPFIC Monday challenge. The word "rotten" evokes images of unpleasantness and presented the opportunity to share this unusual story. The format of this flash fiction was created by @felt.buzz and is told in exactly 240 characters.

My story is below:

Bonded together by the Great Sorrow, Mazoli guides his comrades across the empty field. Dwindling lights flicker through hollow eyes. He pauses.

Insects flutter in their midst searching for fresh manure.

They care not for the rotten bodies.

Marcha de Mazoli

Unidos por el Gran Dolor, Mazoli guía a sus camaradas a través del campo vacío. Luces menguantes parpadean a través de ojos huecos. Se detiene.

Los insectos revolotean entre ellos en busca de estiércol fresco.

No les importan los cuerpos podridos.

Mazoli and his men should do away with war, so that souls would not be loss, insects go to places where rotten vegetables are, could it be rotten vegetables were on the field?

Yes, it was the war that ended Mazoli and his men's lives. Now they roam the fields as undead. Insects and birds, especially vultures, flock to rotten food.

Thanks for your visit. I appreciate your engagement and support. Take care.
