Welcome back to the ZapFic50 Friday. In this week #24 prompt "bundle", I was tempted to share a fictional story. However, I thought about a personal experience with this prompt that still haunts me to this day. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. But the most important lesson I learned was that sometimes certain items just don't mix well together.

@felt.buzz and the Freewriters Community bring you a new microfiction format. This ZapFic50 Friday challenge tests our ability to construct as near complete a story as we can using only 50 words. The challenge starts on Fridays. It's a great writing opportunity over the weekend using various prompts as your guide. 

I leave below my wordcounter screenshot showing the 50-word count for my 24th ZapFic50 Friday story:

**Below is my story.**

Tallying prior month's invoices, the figures felt overwhelming.

Not only had the satellite, internet, and phone services skyrocketed,
but the ISP pressured the Edmonds to include mobile devices.

Finally succumbing to bundle all three, thereby receiving price reductions, they felt relieved;
until five-day internet problems shut down other bundled services.
