Day 1567: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: Westerlies / Black belt

The morning dawned calmly like any other Friday, for Raul and his family, they went about their business like any other day. Raul was about to pick up the children from school. Suddenly he received a call from his wife asking him to pick her up too, since the meeting with the executives had been postponed until next week.

Once the tour is done and everyone is inside the car, Raul and his wife decide to buy lunch and take it home. Arriving at the food store they see a young boy of about 12 years old, running and behind him chasing his father, who had a black belt wrapped in his hand, the young man without noticing the car, tries to cross the street, the loud screeching of tires is heard and then a silence covered the entire street, the father is shocked and totally immobile to see the scene, strong winds from the west push the leaves that have fallen from the trees.

The car arrived just inches from the young man, whose face turned pale as a paper, his father reacts and runs to his son and in his race the black belt slips from his hands falling to the ground, he embraces his son and tears of gratitude to GOD for protecting his son begin to fall, both fall to their knees and the leaves driven by the west winds collide against the bodies of the father and son.

Raul and his family make their purchase and return home, totally amazed by the events of Friday afternoon. END

Amanecía tranquilo como cualquier otro viernes, para Raúl y su familia, realizaban sus actividades como cualquier otro día. Transcurrida la mañana Raúl se disponía a recoger a los niños del colegio, de pronto recibe la llamada de su esposa para que también pase por ella, ya que la reunión con los ejecutivos, se había pospuesto para la semana próxima.

Hecho el recorrido y todos están dentro del auto, Raúl y su esposa deciden comprar el almuerzo y llevarlo a casa. Llegando al local de comida observan a un joven de 12 años aproximadamente, corriendo y detrás persiguiéndolo a su padre, el cual llevaba un cinturón negro enrollado en su mano, el joven sin percatarse del auto, intenta cruzar la calle, se escucha el fuerte chillido de los neumáticos y luego un silencio cubrió toda la calle, el padre queda impactado y totalmente inmóvil al ver la escena, fuertes vientos del oeste empujan las hojas que se han caído de los arboles.

El auto llego apenas centímetros del joven, cuyo rostro se torno pálido como un papel, su padre reacciona y corre hacia su hijo y en su carrera el cinturón negro se desliza de su mano cayendo al suelo, abraza a su hijo y comienzan a bajar las lagrimas de agradecimiento a DIOS por proteger a su hijo, caen de rodilla los dos y las hojas impulsadas por los vientos del oeste chocan contra los cuerpos del padre e hijo.

Raúl y su familia hacen su compra y retornan a su hogar, totalmente asombrados por los eventos ocurridos la tarde del viernes. FIN
