Writing Wednesday | Prompt 34

So, I have a request for all of you. I crave some new prompts. I've been getting most of mine at creativewritingprompts.com and I need some new ones. I don't have time right now to make them up, so here's where you all come in. Write me a prompt and I'll try it next week! Here's the prompt of the week. Prompt Thirty-Four- Fired Girl
This is a plot based prompt. A woman gets fired from her job for getting the wrong number. It's all up to interpretation so take on a unique voice with this one and try something new. Obviously, have fun! My response...

She gave her life to PeachCorps. After graduating top of her class, Liza landed the job of her dreams, the man of her dreams and the apartment of her dreams. To say her life was in perfect working order would be an understatement. Despite being optimistic, she was a realist to the core, so she knew this was bound to happen at some point.

Of course, it all just had to happen at once.

She was in the midst of the worst day of her life and she asked herself what else could go wrong. Not only did her boyfriend walk out, claiming Liza was boring him, but she screwed up one single number. It was a number she knew well. I mean, numbers were her thing.

The stupid profit and loss sheet should have been a no-brainer to Liza. Maybe that’s why she felt so lax about it. She didn’t bother going back over her math. Most of it she had done in Excel so the computer did the work. But she was nothing if not confident.

PeachCorps was confident as well. And she guessed that was why they took her sheet and didn’t bother double checking and going back over her work. It was stupid on their part. You should always check work, but Liza had never screwed up. Until today.

On the third column of the sheet, she fudged a number. By accident, her lazy finger hit six instead of five and every single column and row after that was affected by it. When PeachCorps presented the form to their investors, hell broke loose. And there was one person to blame—Liza.

So now, she sat on her front stoop, her head in her hands, wondering why she bothered to wake up today. Her boyfriend was gone. Her job was gone. And she guessed, unless she found a new job, she’d have to give up her apartment too.
