I've been pondering what I could say here to clear up the confusion. My husband said I should tell you that when I write part 2 of this story everything will be explained. Which would be great,ha, except it would also be a total lie. The truth is that I'm a beginner as a writer, I don't have anyone to bounce my rough drafts off and I was too close to the story and too much in a hurry to meet the challenge deadline. So I didn't notice what seems now to be a very glaring hole in my plot. Anyway, I think I see a way to more or less close this plot hole, so I've changed it on my own journal. I don't know if there is a way to change the story on flashfic, I kind of doubt it, so it will have to stand. I won't be in such a hurry to post next time. Though no doubt I'll find some other mistakes to make. It's a talent I have. Thanks for reading.
