Anatomy of a Trilogy | ZAPFIC MONDAY (12/22/25) | Prompt: film (película)
For this week's ZAPFIC Monday challenge for the prompt "film", I decided to work it double duty into my flash fiction story since the meaning of the word has two completely different aspects to it. We're all familiar with the industry that produces different type of media for our enjoyment. The other meaning of the word embodies a covering. I hope you enjoy my two meanings of the word in my story.
The ZAPFICMonday challenge was created by @felt.buzz and consists of a story told in 240 characters or less. Quite a feat to accomplish. If you're interested, visit the current challenge post: #ZapFicMonday 22nd December 2025: ZapFic240! The "Original" ZapFic: Write a story using 240 characters OR less!
My story is below:
"Whew, I'm glad that's over!" Amy hissed.
"I thought the ending played decent," Matt grinned.
"If you love feeling like you're wallowing in slime," it's perfect.
"You just don't like horror."
"No. I don't like paying thrice to see shoddy work."

Para el desafío ZAPFIC Monday de esta semana, con el tema «película», decidí darle un doble sentido en mi relato breve, ya que la palabra tiene dos significados completamente diferentes. Todos conocemos la industria que produce diferentes tipos de medios para nuestro entretenimiento. El otro significado de la palabra hace referencia a una cubierta. Espero que disfruten de los dos significados de la palabra en mi relato.

Anatomía de una trilogía
«¡Uf, menos mal que se acabó!», siseó Amy.
«A mí me pareció que el final estuvo bien», sonrió Matt.
«Si te gusta sentirte como si estuvieras revolcándote en limo, es perfecto».
«Es que no te gusta el terror».
«No. No me gusta pagar tres veces por ver un trabajo de mala calidad».
