A 100-word story

by Hora

Every second Sunday, when she had a blue ticket, Mrs. Rob would clean her steel. Blue tickets were for water, green tickets for energy. Mrs. Rob was volunteering last night for this extra green ticket, helping dispose of the communal waste. If only her efforts would make a change.

In the wellness center, Mrs. Rob was reading the news headlines:

“Waste situation-under control! When pigs fly! “

“What was this species of pig called?” asked Mrs. Rob.

“Humans”, laughed the receptionist.

Mrs. Rob plugged herself in, took her battery out, and handed it to the receptionist with a green ticket.

This is the first 100-word story I publish online.
I appreciate any kind of feedback / thoughts / advice.
I was also wondering why the word count differs: word — 100 // medium — 101

Surviving hell (long covid & co) made me think deeply about my life. I feel motivated to document my healing journey and share what I have learnt.
