*Why 240 characters? Well originally it was posted to the steemit blockchain using the app “zappl”, but that app has been on an extended holiday, and we can't hang around for ever... so now no more hassle with zappl! You can post your #zapfic however you want!Use a word/character counter like this free one (https://wordcounter.net/) to check your character count!

#zapfic Writing Contest Week 34:

Write a story - inspired by the prompt - in 240 characters.

No restrictions on how you post it to steemit. You can post it to steemit using steemit.com, partiko or anything else you want to use (even as a comment in this post, if you want)!

Try to ensure you tell as complete a story as you can.

This weeks prompt is : trust

You can interpret the prompt as you wish (the story does NOT have to contain the word “trust” in it)

Rules

  • Post the 240 character (or less) story to steemit (use whatever you want - steemit.com, busy, partiko, or even as a comment! etc - the choice is yours!
  • It must contain the hashtag #zapfic
  • The story must be less than 240 characters long - use a character counter to check (here is one: https://wordcounter.net/)
  • The story must be your own work, and previously unpublished
  • If you post a photo (you don't have to, there are no "points" for photos, it is all about the story) please make sure you quote the source. If it is yours, say so!
  • Resteem and upvote welcome but it is not essential (I am operating this contest at a “loss” to give something back to the community, so if you can resteem and upvote it will help me help you!)
  • The steemit (or busy, or whatever) link to your post must be left in the comment section of this post
  • The deadline for submissions is the payout of this post
  • The judge’s decision is final

Prizes

The price pool 3 SBI (#steembasicincome share), to be distributed as follows

1 @steembasicincome share will be given to the top three stories (as judged by me)

All valid entries will receive a 100% upvote
Sometimes I may give away bonus prizes too.

I just came across this contest and couldn't resist. I hope you are amused. My story, in 229 characters:



"Let go. I've got you.
"You're safe.
"I'm telling you. It'll be alright.
"Go ahead. Trust me.
"You can do it.
"You have to trust someone, sometime.
"That's it. Easy. Slowly...
"Good, good...
"Let go, now...
"Oops.
"Sorry..."

Lol! Thanks for your entry!
