First, when a person instructs another not to tell a thing previously shared or action taken, that person receiving the instructions should abide by the other person's wishes. However, this sharing works both ways; especially when a crime has been or is contemplated. In society, we see this scenario play out on numerous occasions. This is true when individuals decide to embrace others as "friends". Friendship comes with its own terms and conditions, again the foundation laid out by society's rules.

When forced to tell what one knows in the act of absolving themselves, individuals will, the majority of the time, choose Maslow's law. Self-preservation. This mechanism is built into us. I share a microfiction for the day's prompt "don't quote me" that's a ZAPFIC50 story told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.

I based my 50-word story on @mariannewest's Freewrite prompt: 21 November 2024, @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2563: don’t quote me!. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.

"If I was ever a friend, and you value that, don't quote me. It's damming enough I'll be prosecuted," Lyle pleaded.

Frowning, Jessica hung up, hesitated, then clicked SEND for the embezzlement report naming co-conspirator, Lyle.

Donning her overcoat, outside her apartment, unseen shots reverberated.

The Coroner pronounced Jessica DEAD.

El precio de la amistad

En primer lugar, cuando una persona da instrucciones a otra para que no cuente algo previamente compartido o una acción realizada, la persona que recibe las instrucciones debe acatar los deseos de la otra. Sin embargo, este intercambio funciona en ambos sentidos, especialmente cuando se ha cometido o se contempla la posibilidad de cometer un delito. En la sociedad, este escenario se da en numerosas ocasiones. Esto es cierto cuando los individuos deciden abrazar a otros como «amigos». La amistad viene con sus propios términos y condiciones, de nuevo la base establecida por las normas de la sociedad.

Cuando se ven obligados a decir lo que saben en el acto de absolverse a sí mismos, los individuos, la mayoría de las veces, elegirán la ley de Maslow. Autoconservación. Este mecanismo está incorporado en nosotros. Comparto una microficción para el reto del día "no me cites » que es una historia ZAPFIC50 contada en exactamente 50 palabras. El reto fue creado por @felt.buzz.

«Si alguna vez fui un amigo, y tú lo valoras, no me cites. Ya es bastante condenatorio que me procesen», suplicó Lyle.

Frunciendo el ceño, Jessica colgó, dudó y luego pulsó ENVIAR para el informe de malversación en el que se nombraba al co-conspirador, Lyle.

Mientras se ponía el abrigo, en el exterior de su apartamento resonaron disparos invisibles.

El forense declaró a Jessica MUERTA.
