Through the month of April I am writing along with 1900 participants for the A to Z Challenge. My theme for the Alphabet Challenge is FEELINGS and FICTION. The happy, sad, funny, silly, envious, over the top and totally low down account of feelings in 100 words of fiction.
Sharon was in tears, tears of anger!
What does she think of herself?
She is her best friend since school.
Sharon always prided herself as a well balanced, friendly, fun person.
Bianca is going out with that guy whose country’s name even she cannot pronounce!
She did not even know his family or language!
If I told her to be careful, to do a background check on him why am I intolerant?
I think we must double check all foreigners no matter how good they look!
Why had Bianca had called her Xenophobic, she was just worried about her friend!

My familiarity with the word Xenophobic was sketchy … but this post kind of put it is context. That for enriching my vocabulary by one more word

Thank you so much 🙂 happy to help Jayanthi.
A friend looking out for another is okay but judging others on the basis of their skin color and place of origin is xenophobic.

Thank you so much 🙂 Sulekha. I agree with you.
Uh oh… I agree with Era. I don’t think she’s judging the guy by his skin color. (hopefully not.)
Great job, Indy! <3
Author

I think Sharon just wanted Bianca to be safe. But, Bianca looks like head over heels in love.
That’s a good take on Xerophobia 🙂
