'SIGNAL', A ORIGINAL ZAPFIC MONDAY CONTEST

Following a devastating earthquake, Elizabeth was caught up in the aftermath, structural damages.

She was stranded and had to wait for aid, which came with the help of a flare that she fired skyward as a signal, burning red high above her.

This is my entry to Zapfic Monday, hosted by Hive account@felt.buzz. The challenge is to write a story in 240 characters or fewer using the prompt "signal".

Thanks for reading!
