This microfiction story is for the prompt "costume". It reminds me of myself as a child who loved to dress up in costume for Halloween. Trying to guess the person behind the mask and suits was a fun exercise. I share a story along those lines. Hope you enjoy. 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: 22 October 2026, Freewriters Community Daily Writing Prompt Day 3264: costume. 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.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think Greg wore a costume to the party," snarky Darlene offered, partly laughing.
"*I had no idea you were so shallow," Jeffrey rebuffed.
"Well, it's Halloween, and he does have a face only a mother could love."
Stunned, friends disbursed, leaving Darlene clueless.

A continuación está mi relato.
¿Acaso no sabía que la belleza solo está en la superficie?
«Si no supiera que no es así, pensaría que Greg se había puesto un disfraz para la fiesta», comentó Darlene con sarcasmo, riéndose un poco.
«No tenía ni idea de que fueras tan superficial», le espetó Jeffrey.
«Bueno, es Halloween, y la verdad es que tiene una cara que solo una madre podría amar».
Atónitos, los amigos se dispersaron, dejando a Darlene sin saber qué pensar.
