Seralised Drabble/7–2–24/Random Word — Federal
Becca
Start here
Becca Jones rushed out of the old federal building into the white sunlight of midday. Her hands were numb from a combination of steady typing and the air-conditioned building. She shoved them into the pockets of her favorite sweater and walked quickly to the park where she’d call Caleb and remind him about their dinner plans.
She wanted this day to be over. She’d been making mistakes all morning. Her normal focus was shattered by what she’d overheard.
“Downsizing starts next week,” her manager whispered to a co-worker.
Becca was one of the newest employees. She needed this job.
A drabble is a story of exactly 100 words. This story includes the random word — federal. It is a seralised drabble, and you are in luck! You have stumbled upon the first one in my series about Becca Jones.
It’d be great if you’d hang around, clap, highlight, or comment for 30 seconds so I know you’ve been here. Thanks so much! :)
Thanks to Shain E. Thomas for today’s random word and for publishing in Seralised Drabble.
