Hello everyone!
It has been a while. I've been a bit stressed and needed a break from social media (although I couldn't take a complete break as my job involves using some social media for promotion use).
I feel a bit better now, so hope to return.
ZapFic will return on Monday although I am going to cut the contests down to one a week (always on a Monday, results published on Friday or Saturday). I will alternate between ZapFic (240 characters or less) and ZapFic50 (precisely 50 words).
I also hope to go back to writing freewrites on a daily basis...

"Zed?" she called.

He obviously wasn't in.
Or was he hiding from her? Sulking after their argument.
She looked in her bag for her notebook and pen, but she must have left it in the cafe. She found an old envelope and a pencil stub and scrawled "call me, you big idiot" on it and shoved it through the letter box. She peered through and watched it flutter to the floor.
She stood up and began to walk down the street her footsteps echoing in the eerie silence.
