This microfiction story is for the prompt "in the back of the fridge". It reminds me of my habit of not rotating items I've placed in the refrigerator. Often, I find myself wasting money on items just because I pushed them to the back and forgot about them. I share a story along those lines. A ZAPFIC50 story is told in exactly 50 words. The challenge was created by @felt.buzz.
I based my 50-word story on Freewriter's Community Daily Writing Prompt: 13 October 2026, Freewriters Community Daily Writing Prompt Day 3255: in the back of the fridge. If you'd like to join in from the daily prompts, visit @daily.prompt's Profile and view each day's freewrite prompt.
Below is my story.
For months, it lay on a bottom rack in the back of the fridge. Jasper hadn't bothered rotating it.
So, mildew festered until rot hit his visiting fiance the moment she opened the door.
Embarrassed, he remembered how expensive the epicurean item was she purchased for his birthday he'd requested.

An Expensive Taste Rethought
Durante meses, estuvo en el estante inferior, en el fondo de la nevera. Jasper no se había molestado en ir cambiándolo de sitio.
Así que el moho se fue acumulando hasta que el olor a podrido golpeó a su prometida, que estaba de visita, en cuanto abrió la puerta.
Avergonzado, recordó lo caro que era ese producto gourmet que ella le había comprado para su cumpleaños, tal y como él le había pedido.
