I am going back and forth with a lot of topics. Sometimes I want to a fiction and sometimes something else. Anyways when I checked my inbox today I saw a lot of prompts awaiting my attention. Thus I thought of combining all of it together and I’ll be combining three prompt’s today for a little 100 word story. Let’s get started with the story and I’ll reveal the prompts later.
He gave his whole life to the factory – working on holidays, afterhours and night shifts. But the management didn’t think twice before laying off people. How will they feed their family? Who will employ them at this age?
He sat aloof in a subway pass, worry smeared across his face. All he needed was a temporary job to pay his bills, to feed his family.
He had wished for a peaceful retirement but here he was looking for a job. Wise men had said – Life is a journey, not a destination. And his journey was far away from the destination.

Ah. I hope his journey gets a better scenery soon, so he doesn't look at the destination only.

That's a nice attempt to combine the several prompts. Applause. It's indeed a worrisome plight for him Tina
this is a reality for so many people, you picked a touchy subject but did a great job with it!
Quite a feat to combine all the 3 prompts Tina! Wonderful prose, a whiff of freshness from the usual verses!

Life can be a very hard journey and sometimes we forget there is even a destination such is our despair
Tina, that was a touching story. None of us know, what's in store for us.
Very well done!
And you nailed it! The story is not even fictional for I've heard a lot of stories like this. Sad story. But that's how life is sometimes.
