The Racer

A 50-Word Story

Mark Starlin

--

Daniel sat on the grass beside the road, sweating profusely.

He looked left.

There was nothing but farmland as far as the eye could see.

He looked right.

More of the same.

He looked down at his bicycle chain.

It was broken, but his spirit wasn’t.

He would ride again.

Based on the prompt: “Write a 50-word story using the word broken.”
