Hey there ZapFicers!

It has been a while. I needed to take a break but I’m back now.

In order to not crash and burn (and to ensure I can give each of your stories the attention they deserve) I am going to only run one ZapFic Contest a week. They will alternate between the original ZapFic (240 characters or less) contest and ZapFic50 (precisely 50 words) contest

The contest prompt will always be on a Monday and you will have until midnight GMT (UTC) on Thursday to submit your entry. I will then judge and make the awards sometime over the weekend.

ZapFicMonday - The Original ZapFic

This is the original ZapFic contest! Write me a story using 240 characters or less!

You have 3 days (until Thursday 23h59 GMT) to post a Zapfic (a story written in 240 characters or less) using the prompt given.

Please note it is a story with 240 characters (letters, full stops, spaces, etc) NOT words!

Rewards

All valid posts will be upvoted and reblogged by @felt.buzz and @Zapfic.Club

Three winners will be chosen over the weekend, each will get 1 Hive SBI share.

The three winners will also get 100% upvote from @felt.buzz and @zapfic.club on their link drop comment on this post.

And @itsostylish has generously offered to give a 25HP delegation for one month to one winner!

3 runners up will also receive a 50% upvote on their link drop comment, in this post, from @felt.buzz
