This week the prompt is "alien". I hope to be able to capture the essence of this simple but powerful word. I have included the link to this week's challenge in case you'd like to participate: It's your favourite day of the week! It's ZapFicMonday! Week35-Write me a story using 240 characters or less!
Thank you @felt.buzz, @Zapfic.Club, and Freewriters Community for this writing exercise. As required in the rules. I have taken a screenshot of the word counter for this story.
I hope you like my story for this week's prompt:
After working for 25 years, Allen has no plans to retire soon.
The meeting began. The company's negative financial picture is on full display.
They plan to eliminate several positions immediately for debt relief.
Not working is foreign to him.
See you next time.
Thanks,
@clicks2cash

Hello @justclickindiva. Thank you for your support and comment on my Zapfic Monday story. Allen was not expecting this news. He still enjoys the daily routine of working and is not ready to retire.
Take Care.
